Book description
Dr. Rebecca Temple has just returned to practice in an old converted
house in the Kensington Market area of Toronto, six months after the
death of her artist husband, when she's confronted with the violent
murder of a patient she had earlier diagnosed as paranoid. Sylvia
Warsh's accomplished first novel explores the decades-old deceptions
and plots that go back to World War Two Poland and underlie the murder
of Goldie. Even as Rebecca struggles with guilt over the misdiagnosis
which may have led to her patient's death, she becomes the killer's
next target.
"This first novel has a good plot and plenty of good
writing."
Sylvia Maultash Warsh was born in Germany to parents
who survived the Holocaust. She grew up in Toronto, where she earned
an MA in Linguistics and now teaches writing to seniors. Her novel
To Die in Spring was shortlisted for the 2000 Arthur Ellis
Award for Best First Novel.
