AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Michael Sala’s The Restorer weaves together the experiences of a family attempting to restore its balance following a year of separation from Roy: the husband, father, and threatening patriarch of the household. The novel is full of doublings – layers of attempted restorations and new beginnings, patterns of relationships and the potential for repeated violence and tremors.'  (Introduction)

Notes

  • Epigraph: Since the earthquake, the whole town felt as if it were being dismantled rather than put back together – like their house, like everything – (298)
