Synopsis
Tess Corrigan returns to her Newfoundland birthplace, an out-port called the Cove, and agrees to stand as the Liberal candidate in the forthcoming provincial election. Newly divorced, Tess is the last of the Corrigan women, the daughter and granddaughter of seduced and abandoned women; asking her strongly Tory friends and neighbours to vote for her means reliving her child-hood as well as courting political enmity. Tess's past also haunts her in the form of Dennis Walsh, the love of her youth. Her heartbreak when he entered the seminary returns when she realizes that he is still in love with her. To Scatter Stones is the second volume in M.T. Dohaney's Cor-rigan Women trilogy. Among her other works are the novel A Marriage of Masks, which won the Thomas Raddall Award for Atlantic Fiction, and When Things Gets Back to Normal, a moving memoir about her husband's sudden death. The feature film Come Back Paddy Riley, for which she co-wrote the script, is currently in development., Described as Newfoundland's answer to Frank McCourt, M.T. Dohaney's To Scatter Stones is available once again. Long out of print, the highly anticipated To Scatter Stones was first published in 1992, the second novel in Dohaney's celebrated Corrigan Women trilogy. In this novel, Tess Corrigan, newly divorced, has moved from Montreal to St. John's as manager of a travel agency. On a visit to her birthplace, a tiny outport called the Cove, she agrees to stand as the Liberal candidate in the forthcoming provincial election. Little by little, she becomes wrapped up in the lives of her childhood friends and neighbours. But the return to her roots is also difficult. The last of the Corrigan women, Tess is the daughter of Carmel and an American soldier, who turns out to be a bigamist. In addition to the uncomfortable echoes from her past, Tess's politics stir up conflict in the traditionally Tory village. Not only does she face discouraging odds and hard ethical choices, but she is the first "petticoat candidate" ever to run for office in the Cove. On top of these external crises, Tess must deal with her own conflicting emotions and the love of youth, Dennis Walsh, now a priest, who reappears in the Cove. To Scatter Stones spans from the 1960s into the 1990s, marking not only the life changes of the last of the Corrigan women, but the radical changes as Newfoundland moved from paternalism and an economy based on the fishery to a more equitable political ideal. With wit and insight, M.T. Dohaney carries the story of the Corrigan women into the final decades of the 20th century.
