Histoire
Jean and Gordon Hay were a colourful, formidable pair. Jean, a late-blooming artist with a marvellous sense of humour, was superlatively frugal; nothing got wasted, not even maggoty soup. Gordon was a proud and ambitious schoolteacher with a terrifying temper, a deep streak of melancholy, and a devotion to flowers, cars, words, and his wife....

Histoire
Harry Boyd, a hard-bitten refugee from failure in Toronto television, has returned to a small radio station in the Canadian North. There, in Yellowknife, in the summer of 1975, he falls in love with a voice on air, though the real woman, Dido Paris, is both a surprise and even more than he imagined. Dido and Harry are part of the cast of eccentric, utterly loveable characters who form an unlikely group at the station. Their loves and longings, their rivalries and entanglements, the stories of their pasts and what brought each of them to the North form the center.

Description
In the winter of 2008, as snow falls without interruption, an actor in a Beckett play blanks on her lines. Fleeing the theatre, she beats a retreat into her past and arrives at Snow Road Station, a barely discernible dot on the map of Ontario.
The actor is Lulu Blake, in her sixties now, a sexy, seemingly unfooled woman well-versed in taking risks. Out of work, humiliated, she enters the last act of her life wondering what she can make of her diminished self. In Snow Road Station she decides she is through with drama, but drama, it turns out, isn’t through with her. She thinks she wants peace. It turns out she wants more.
Looming in the background is that autumn’s global financial meltdown, while in the foreground family and friends animate a round of weddings, sap harvests, love affairs, and personal turmoil. At the centre of it all is the lifelong friendship between Lulu and Nan. As the two women contemplate growing old, they surrender certain hard-held dreams and confront the limits of the choices they’ve made and the messy feelings that kept them apart for decades.
Ce que les critiques en disent
“At the center of this sensitive novel, set in Ontario in 2008, is Lulu, a middle-aged actress who has returned to the hamlet of her youth for her nephew’s wedding. . . . Hay makes a case for the simplicity of pleasure: ‘All you have to do,” Lulu thinks, “is put yourself in the way of beauty, put yourself into the incredible swing of it.’” —The New Yorker
“A moving novel about ageing and transformation. . . . Snow Road Station amazed me.” —Peterborough Examiner
“Joyous and lyrical, Snow Road Station is an ode to the North, in fact an ode to life itself, and all its possibilities.” —Mary Lawson, bestselling author of A Town Called Solace

A late coming of age
How lovely to listen to Elizabeth Hay’s peaceful, thoughtful, timbered voice take Loulou through the sharp sadness of facing retirement to the deep joy of finally having the time to truly enjoy family and friends. For those of us who have barrelled madly and blindly along in life, focused on work work work, it is so satisfying to read about someone bravely putting on the brakes and coming back to the real beauty of nature, children and comfortable love. There are gorgeous descriptions of the sugar maple bush, and delightful phrasing of everyday moments that I want to read over and over again, just to have a smile. Take your time with this book to receive all the gifts it has to give.

Quite simply astonishing
I also purchased the hardcover of this book because I wanted to enjoy the language in written form as well as spoken. This book spoke directly to my heart. The intimate and complex experiences of these women who are easy to love, because the author has shown them in their full, resilient, human form. Elizabeth Hay is so powerful
and graceful, the way she gets to the root of the story. Oh it is so good. The book is about many things, but especially about long term female friendship and its pillar position within the female experience.
I enjoyed the Beckett through-line, holding him to account but also acknowledging his intentions. I really loved the way the landscape held such a memorable place in the story, especially the maple tree motif, and the snow.
Elizabeth Hay writes with so much wisdom and delicacy, she quietly encourages her characters blossom with all the might they can muster. Xox

The best of author-read novels
If you love Elizabeth Hay, enjoy. This book sang to me as her work often does; hearing it in her voice gave it a warmth and simple vulnerable immediacy that was hypnotic. Absolutely captures the sense of the Lanark highlands, much like a lot of Eastern Ontario as the landscape settles into your heart.

Pretty enough.
Here's a different take on the classic 'you can go home again' theme. I found large sections were just incredibly boring, and the author/narrator's hushed reverent voice was sleep-inducing. I wish I had loaned it from the public library instead of spending $15 on it. I'll never listen to it again.

Predictable and sleep inducing !
I found the storyline banal and predictable from the outset. The tone of the author’s narration was totally soporific! Elizabeth Hay is no Alice Munro!
