THE BURDEN OF MEMORIES, A Northern Ontario Novel by Janet Calcaterra, vividly evokes the landscapes and people of Northern Ontario in this intimate and rich account of war and its lasting painful effects on families.
In 1995, sisters Adrienne and Cass unravel the mystery behind their father, Dr. Alexander Muir, a doctor during the Italian Campaign in World War II’s and later a psychiatrist. As children they barely recall the sudden death of their father, but, through a series of family letters, they learn, despite their mother’s best efforts, that their father suffered from PTSD due to war time experiences and died by his own hand. While their mother is ashamed of her late husband’s downfall, the sisters find learning about their father cathartic, inspiring them to move forward with their lives.
