The Stone Carvers Author: Jane Urquhart Publisher: Bloomsbury Price: Available Now Stone - but not cold The Stone Carvers is not a book to be read in a hurry but should be saved for a time when you can immerse yourself in the grand imagery created by the author. Award-winning Urquhart's fifth novel traverses back and forth between generations and across the globe without confusing the reader. The stories within a story move effortlessly between Bavaria in the mid-1800s, pioneers developing the wilderness of northern Canada, the French battlefields of the First World War and its aftermath, culminating with a return to Canada. The central character, Klara, is introduced as a feisty 38-year old spinster living on the outskirts of an isolated Canadian village, Shonerval. The early narrative relates tales much-loved by Klara and the local nuns. These stories depict how the village was established and named by a Bavarian priest with a dream to build a large stone church with a bell. His seemingly improbable quest drew together a community including Klara's grandfather, a wood carver who later tries to pass on his skills to Klara's brother, Tilman.

"Or has the public been educated in that way by the lyricism that goes in the fiction that they've read? I don't know. I've thought about it quite a lot and, when I'm writing fiction, I find that I have to kind of rein myself in. I could probably, to my detriment, be a lot more lyrical than I am. I think maybe it's because the truth is that narrative began with poetry, anyway. When you think of the great epics and odes and classical [tales]. If you want to look back even further than that, you think of the fact that storytelling was often done, before literacy as we know it, through the oral tradition. It was done in verse so it was easier to remember." There's a girlishness about Jane Urquhart that belies 51 summers. "I love being in my 50s," Urquhart declares with some passion. "I'm finally starting to be taken seriously." This, of course, is at least partly in jest because, for almost as long as Urquhart has been writing, her work has been taken seriously. In 1992, her first novel, The Whirlpool , was the first Canadian book to win France's prestigious Prix du Meilleur Livre Etranger (Best Foreign Book Award).

Jan/Feb 1999 Book Reviews The Underpainter Author: Jane Urquhart Publisher: Bloomsbury (October 1998) ISBN: 7475 3521 3 Price: A$17.95 (paperback) 279 pages reviewed by Ann Skea "Henri always says that brilliance is moving towards colour, not towards white," says Austin Fraser to the eccentric Abbott Thayer. Yet, in his own life and in his painting he seeks colours which camouflage and conceal him just as surely as Thayer's blue jay becomes invisible in shadowed snow. Always, Fraser has refused to look beneath surface appearances, to feel emotions, to be curious about people or to open himself, in any way, to the world. Like the 'erasures' he creates in his art, his life is scraped back and hidden beneath multiple surface layers. As in his art, life becomes disturbing only when some covered fragments seep through. Yet it is not these seeped, blurred fragments of Fraser's life which disturb the reader as he tell his story, but the absences, the subtle emotions and connections which he ignores but which grow in the reader's mind so that we begin to question Fraser's humanity, to imagine the feelings of those whose lives he affects, and to judge him. In the end, we can only agree with his own self-assessment of what his life has been: "You have used everything around you. And for what? An arrangement of colours on a flat surface". This book, however, is far more than a flat arrangement of colours. From the opening lines of the book, I found myself seduced by Urquhart's writing in a way I couldn't quite managed to explain. Her clear vision is reflected in language which is plain and quite ordinary, yet her art is subtle, delicate, multi-faceted and very moving. It is an art of shifting light and shade, as Fraser's tries to be, but her engagement with humanity is deep and she uses the language of painting in a sensual and erotic way which her narrator could never achieve.

The following entry provides an overview of Urquhart's life and career through 1995. INTRODUCTION Considered one of Canada's most promising writers, Urquhart is known for works that reflect her fascination with literary Romanticism and the Victorian Era. Often emphasizing the theme of estrangement, her writing is noted for its focus on place and landscape, memory and history, and the creative process. Urquhart's novels, for which she is best known, frequently employ parallel story lines and often incorporate historical figures and events. Biographical Information Born in northern Ontario, Urquhart was raised in the small mining settlement of Little Long Lac until she was five or six years old, at which time she moved with her family to Toronto. As a child, she was a voracious reader, and she has cited Emily and Charlotte Bront«, Robert Louis Stevenson, L. M. Montgomery, Frances Hodgson Burnett, and Charles Dickens as among her favorite authors. Attending junior college in Vancouver in the late 1960s, Urquhart eventually returned to Ontario where she received a B. A. in English in 1971 from the University of Guelph. At Guelph she also met and married artist Paul Keele. Following the death of Keele in a car accident, Urquhart resumed her academic career, earned a B. A. in art history, and, in the mid-1970s, married artist Tony Urquhart. In addition to the demands posed by her role as a mother, Urquhart began to pursue a writing career in 1977, initially working as a poet and then turning to fiction.
