Book Review
“A Hundred Small
Lessons”
By Ashley Hay
When Elsie Gormley falls
and is forced to leave her
Brisbane home
of 62 years, Lucy
Kiss and her fam-
ily move in, ea-
ger to make the
house their own.
Still, Lucy can’t
help but feel that
she’s unwittingly
stumbled into an
entirely new life
— new house, new city, new
baby — and she struggles to
navigate the journey from
adventurous love to young
parent.
In her nearby nursing fa-
cility, Elsie traces the years
she spent in her beloved
house, where she too trans-
formed from a naïve newly-
wed into a wife and mother,
and eventually, a widow.
Gradually, the boundary be-
tween present and past be-
comes more porous for her
— and for Lucy — because
the house has secrets of its
own, and its rooms seem to
share memories from Elsie’s
life with Lucy.
Through the richly in-
tertwined narratives of two
women from different gen-
erations, Ashley Hay weaves
an intricate, bighearted tale
of the many small decisions
— the invisible moments —
that come to make a life.
Luminous and deeply af-
fecting, “A Hundred Small
Lessons” is a story of what
it means to be human, and
how a place can transform
who we are.
It’s about a house that be-
comes much more than a
home, and the shifting iden-
tities of mother
and
daughter;
father and son.
Above all else,
it’s a story of
the surprising
and miraculous
ways that our
lives
intersect
with those who
come before us,
and those who
follow.
Vision Quest’s
‘Get Wild’ series
presents kayaking
programs
Vision Quest, in conjunc-
tion with the Siuslaw Public
Library, will be presenting
two programs related to
kayaking on Saturday, Dec.
1. The first program, at 10
a.m., features local kayaker
Mary Nulty discussing “Kay-
aking Around Florence.”
Nulty is an avid paddler
and photographer who has
travelled all the local waters
since 1994. She will highlight
local paddling locations, dif-
ferent types of water craft,
and how to safely transport
them. She will also share tips
about boating safety, specif-
ically related to weather and
tidal conditions.
The second program at
1:30 p.m. features author Su-
san Conrad who wrote the
book “Inside: One Woman’s
Journey Through the In-
side Passage.” Conrad will
be showing photos from
her 2010 solo journey of
1,200 miles from Anacortes,
Wash., up through the Pas-
sage to Alaska, and recount-
ing tales of whales, bears,
quirky people and spectac-
ular scenery. Both programs
are free and open to the gen-
eral public.
