		Corey's flawed new book is the kind of thing for which Canadian writers are famous: rural stories with lots of winter, harsh but beautiful landscapes and personal loss.
		Corey is a dexterous wordsmith and each sentence reads like it was lovingly crafted, and her settings are described in luxurious detail.
		Elizabeth's father is not a villain in the usual sense but Corey subtly and skilfully paints him as a monster; a man who shoots the family dog for disobedience, casts out his promiscuous older daughter and abandons his disfigured wife and teenage daughter, eventually leaving her to fend for herself.

		As Corey has explained, it was important to look at not only the major events that happen when Elizabeth is a teenager, but also how her experiences play out over her life: “I wondered what happens to a girl in a place she can’t leave.

	Musings from Redwing Marsh
		About a week before Christmas, I discovered The Skating Pond by Deborah Joy Corey, a hauntingly poetic novel that examines the fourteen-year-old narrator's experience of the calamitous collapse of her family and her subsequent plunge into adult life.
		Corey's handling of her protagonist's sexual awakening is both mesmerizing and strikingly original.
		I realize that Corey was born in New Brunswick, and that her first novel (Losing Eddie) won a Canadian award, but she has lived in New England for at least fifteen years.

		Presented from the point of view of a nine-year-old-girl, it is a story rendered with sincerity and ingenuousness, one in which a child's tenaciously held hopes--for her mother's sanity, her father's sobriety and her three siblings' self-preservation--seem painfully unlikely to be fulfilled.
		Corey demonstrates much bright promise with her spare prose, though her story line is depressing.
		Eddie, fresh from reform school, is killed; Mama has two breakdowns; Daddy sits in the wellhouse and drinks beer; Sister has twin babies and an abusive husband; brother Bucky almost drowns; and the neighbor across the road dies and the children of the religious nuts up the...
