Book Description
Audrey is a Londoner. Anonymous in the city, she has left her roots - and her traumatic past - far behind in Canada. But a passionate affair with Jack, and a new friendship with Shereen, bring uncertainties and confusion, and Audrey finds her life becoming inextricably, powerfully linked to the past. For Audrey is haunted by the dramatic story of a 19th-century pioneer, and as she digs deeper into his life, she is forced to confront her own troubled past. Spanning two centuries and against the vivid backdrop of conflicting cultures, The Last Time I Saw Jane is a powerful novel of love and betrayal, race and sex, and the past's magnetic pull on an ever-changing present.
