"Intimate, sensual, and language-loving, every line gives off light, heat, scent. . . . The prose is transparent, elegiac. . . . The end comes too soon. . . . Elephant Winter is enormously engaging, unusual enough to catch the popular imagination, and well and wisely enough written to endure." --Quill & Quire Sophie Walker is back from Africa to nurse her dying mother. Her mother's Ontario farm borders on "Safari"-a tacky tourist spot now deserted for the winter. From her mother's window Sophie sees not cows, or horses, but a group of Indian elephants playing gracefully in the snow. Elephant Winter is a novel about the forms of intimacy, from the turbulent love between a mother and daughter to the fulfilling bond between Sophie and the elephants.
