Marie in 1932, where Clara is starting a job as head nurse at the local residential school. As Clara adjusts to life in the Soo, she discovers the town is a many-layered society.\n\nClara works with Indigenous children who have been ripped from their communities and now live frightening, lonely lives in a crumbling building. While Clara struggles to deal with the despair at the school, Ivy makes a friend from the working-class Italian community and has a brush with the bootlegging underworld. \n\nAfter high school, Ivy heads to nursing school in Montreal but finds society’s expectations for young women do not foster their self-reliance. As Ivy struggles with sexism and societal norms, she and Clara seek to bring humanity to those living at the margins of society.","brand":"Dundurn Group Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32156923887699,"sku":"9781459737051","price":21.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781459737051.jpg?v=1765270825","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/patchwork-society","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
