About this title: In the 1930s, Lucinda Hardy and her younger sister Norma Joyce--as different as it's possible for two sisters to be--both become obsessed with a young man named Maurice Dove, who turns up one day on their Canadian farm. During the course of 40 years, Maurice defines the existence of the two women as the novel moves from Saskatchewan to New York City, where Norma Joyce is a struggling artist.

"I expected to like this book more than I did. I could tell from the blurb on the inside flap that it is my favorite "type" of novel, with a female protagonist and a difficult love situation. I loved the beautiful poetry of the writing. I didn't find the story felt true, however."
"Elizabeth Hay writes memorable characters. Their motivations may surprise or elude me, but they are always palpable and vulnerable. Norma Joyce, Maurice and Lucinda explore landscapes of love and desire, duty and whim in this Canadian novel set in both Saskatchewan and Ottawa in the 20th century."
"A novel about sibling rivalry, and the prairie country of Saskatchewan. As with "Late Night on Air," Hay is adept at capturing the essence of a harsh and starkly beautiful landscape, and an astute observer of human relationships."
