At the centre of this powerful story are three larger-than-life figures: fourteen-year-old Kit Pitman, her mentally handicapped mother, and her formidable grandmother. Together, they live in a ramshackle cottage in a remote Newfoundland outport, where the only visitors are fogbound fishermen. Isolated from the others in her village by poverty, and the mysterious circumstances of her illegitimate birth, Kit grows up as an outsider, protected only by her grandmother's indomitable spirit. Then one day, an attack on Kit sets off a chain of events that leads to a surprising and terrible revelation.
Donna Morrissey (b. 1956) grew up in the isolated western Newfoundland community of The Beaches, where, she says, "There were twelve families and we didn't talk to six of them." She studied at memorial University in St. John's, lived in various other parts of Canada, and makes her home in Halifax. Her first novel, Kit's Law (Penguin, 1999), the source of "Grieving Nan," won the National Booksellers Association Libris Award and garnered international praise.
