274 Josephine<br />
Wingham, ON<br />
$10<br />
Equally adept at capturing the foibles and obsessions<br />
of men and of women, compassionate in her<br />
humour yet never missing an opportunity to make<br />
her characters squirm, fascinated as much by faithlessness<br />
as by faith, Lynn Coady is quite possibly the<br />
writer who best captures what it is to be human at<br />
this particular moment in our history.<br />
