A Perfect Gentle Knight by Kit Pearson
Kit Pearson's long-awaited new novel tells the story of the five Bell children, each of them coping in various ways in the aftermath of their mother's death. Set in the 1950s and seen through the perspective of the middle child, 11-year-old Corrie, Pearson's story illustrates how a rich fantasy life both helps and hinders children trying to cope with loss, loneliness, and growing up.While elder sister Roz is growing up and out of the desire for fantasy games, eldest brother Sebastian, who fancies himself Sir Lancelot in their Round Table game, continues to need them as much as ever,Kit Pearson spent many years as a librarian before publishing her debut novel, The Daring Game, in 1986. She went on to write The Sky Is Falling (1989), Looking at the Moon (1991), and The Lights Go On Again (1993), which were released as The Guests of War trilogy in 1999, as well as Awake and Dreaming (1996), which won the Governor General's Prize. Pearson lives in Victoria, near Ross Bay Cemetery, which is featured in Awake and Dreaming.
