CHILDREN OF THE DAY, A Novel by Sandra Birdsel, is a novel set in Manitoba about the Vandal Family; their problems, huge family, the husbands infidelity and their decisions.
Children of the Day opens on a June morning in 1953, when Sara Vandal, convinced that her husband has been having a decades-long affair, decides that she is too sick to get out of bed. With ten children in the house (and a possible eleventh on the way), this decision sets off a day of chaos, reflection and near disaster for the Vandal family. By nightfall the extended Vandal family will be thrown together to work out the problems of the past and exorcise the ghosts that haunt them, which have all, in their own way, set this June day's events in motion.
"Really liked this book. A day in the life of a family with 12 children living south of Winnipeg in rural Manitoba in the ‘50s. There are flashbacks and chapters rotate between different characters’ points of view. Really moving and beautifully written." -Reviewed by Debbie on Goodreads.
