Description
The Pacific Hospital for the Mind continues to loom large in local psyches after the building's grounds are leased by a church group to build low-income housing, drawing together an eclectic collection of seekers: Ruth and Shiloh, forced to leave their idyllic home in the forests of B.C. after the death of Shiloh's father; Raymond, a German transplant and handyman, who helps the pastor care for the grounds; and Madeleine, a retired nurse who used to work at the Hospital, and continues to make frequent pilgrimages to the gravesites of patients she used to care for. While the Hospital building starts to become a site of teenaged rebellion, it also holds painful memories for Raymond of his troubled sister, long since disappeared.
Written in evocative and lyrical prose, and recalling the work of Elenor Catton, Suzette Mayr, and Marion Douglas, A Story Can Be Told About Pain tells the hard earned truths of surviving grief and the ways in which pain shapes our lives.
