But Mouse\u2019s grandmother, Big Louie, decides that Sal is ineffective, so she dispatches her daughter, Little Louie, to help raise Mouse.<\/p>\n<div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/beta.images.theglobeandmail.com\/dc7\/arts\/books-and-media\/book-reviews\/article4859907.ece\/ALTERNATES\/pw220\/TheWesternLight.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"220\" height=\"342\" \/><\/div>\n<p>Swan captures the 1950s time frame as well as the setting of Madoc\u2019s Landing, a tourist town on Georgian Bay. Mouse is the narrator, and while it\u2019s clear she has grown up, most of the story is told from her perspective as a girl, not an adult. She is a delightful character \u2013 intelligent, thoughtful and curious. She wants attention from her father, but he spends nearly every minute on his patients. And when he\u2019s not practising medicine, Morley coaches the local hockey team. He loves his daughter, but cannot carve out any time for her. It\u2019s no surprise when Mouse befriends an older man, a father figure.<\/p>\n<p>But her choice is unexpected. The town has a psychiatric hospital, where John Pilkie has been incarcerated for killing his wife and baby daughter. Swan\u2019s clever twist is that Pilkie was a star National Hockey League player, and some people, including Morley, believe Pilkie\u2019s violence stems from hockey concussions. Pilkie is a charming man and a snappy dresser. And he treats Mouse with kindness and respect. It\u2019s no wonder she responds so favourably.<\/p>\n<p>The tensions the novel builds on are the parent-child relationship, messy love affairs, the limited (or perhaps non-existent) rights of people deemed insane and locked up in mental institutions for crimes, and the national love of hockey and the damage the players are helpless to avoid. And Mouse is going through a touchy time. She\u2019s on the cusp of physical maturation, and she\u2019s resisting it. She has one leg damaged by polio and worries about how people perceive her.<\/p>\n<p>The novel delves deeply into Mouse\u2019s relationships. Swan develops Mouse\u2019s strength while never losing sight of her youth and that she cannot solve her problems by herself. Neither can the other characters, including Pilkie, who is frantic to get his case reviewed. Clearly, Mouse and Pilkie are parallel in significant ways: Both are damaged, and both need the attention of someone with more power than they have.<\/p>\n<p>Full article available here :<a href=\"http:\/\/www.theglobeandmail.com\/arts\/books-and-media\/book-reviews\/mouse-is-back-in-susan-swans-prequel-to-the-wives-of-bath\/article4859908\/\" target=\"_blank\">www.theglobeandmail.com\/arts\/books<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By CANDACE FERTILE Published\u00a0Friday, Nov. 02 2012, 4:00 PM EDT in The Globe and Mail.
