Told though the eyes of three women from three generations, this lyrical tale of loyalty and isolation covers more than one hundred years of the Lewis family. Purple for Sky from author Carol Bruneau is set in Nova Scotia, and weaves the lives of the religious, shop-keeping clan together as they cope with husbands, lovers, locals and family secrets. After a lifetime of submission, Lindy discovers a secret that threatens the loyalty that she has always held so high, the loyalty that keeps her family so close together. She is now forced to decide between what she has always thought and an uncertain future. This tale is so subtly written and with such character development one cannot help but feel completely at ease with the characters even though they are experiencing enormous transformations.

The story is told primarily through the eyes of Lindy, aging and single, her life consists of caring for the family store and her Aunt Ruby, who is succumbing to dementia. Readers also hear from Ruby, as she reminisces, and Euphemia, when Lindy uncovers her grandmother's diary. I would have preferred to hear more from Ruby and Euphemia, as I found their narratives to be much more interesting than Lindy's. This was a book that was slow to get going, and I was never able to get invested in Lindy. Bruneau has written Lindy in a particularly folksy style, one that I was not able to engage. ( )
