Resumen del Editor
Letters and journal entries form a portal into the desires and passions of two very different women, underscoring the larger tableau of an era stirring with great events (the Depression, rumblings of another world war, and the infancy of radio and show business entertainment). Love and betrayal, friendship and family, hope and deception are the forces that temper the lives of Clara, the spinster schoolteacher, and her sister Nora, "whose entire life is a performance."
Wright, a master of revealing the drama of seemingly unremarkable lives, constructs a powerful, mesmerizing narrative. Clara Callan is a deeply moving portrait of two women and of an age heralding seismic changes that will alter the fabric of their inner lives and the world as they once knew it.
Reseñas de la Crítica
- Giller Prize Winner, 2001
"Mr. Wright writes with the apparent ease of breathing, and he is both touching and very, very funny." (New York Times)

Historia
Yates movingly portrays a man and a woman from their courtship in the 1950s to their divorce in the '70s, chronicling their heartbreaking attempts to reach their highest ambitions. Michael Davenport dreams of being a poet after returning home from World War II, and at first he and his new wife, Lucy, enjoy their life together. But as the decades pass and the success of others creates a fear of failure in both Michael and Lucy, their once bright future gives way to a life of adultery and isolation.

Historia
Julie would remember her happy days at Aunt Cordelia’s forever. Running through the spacious rooms, singing on rainy nights in front of the blazing fireplace. There were rides in the woods on Peter the Great, the races with Danny Trevort. Maybe best of all were the precious moments alone in her room at night, gazing at the sea of stars. But there was sadness too - the painful jealousy Julie felt after her sister got married, the tragic death of a schoolmate, and the bitter disappointment of her first love. Sometimes it all seemed like too much to handle.

Kemal, scion of one of the city's wealthiest families, is about to become engaged to Sibel, daughter of another prominent family, when he encounters Füsun, a beautiful shopgirl and a distant relation. Once the long-lost cousins violate the code of virginity, a rift begins to open between Kemal and the world of the Westernized Istanbul bourgeosie - a world, as he lovingly describes it, with opulent parties and clubs, society gossip, picnics, and mansions on the Bosphorus, infused with the melancholy of decay.

a fresh view of women in the 1930's
It seems in so many stories of women in the 1930's they are the downtrodden of the depression of America. This is a different view - for both Clara and her sister. Something new and different. I enjoyed the whole book

Clara Callan
Not much of a story line. Somehow the ending did not do justice for the character of Clara. At the same time the novel is so beautifully written I was sad to hear it end.

charming intimate refreshing
I thoroughly enjoyed this novel. It alternates between one woman's life and situation in rural canada and her sister's in New York City. I found the interplay of the landscapes and environments invigorating; it allowed one to experience both worlds through the stories of the women. I found the juxtaposition of the two sisters' attitudes and personalities refreshing and came to care very much about both characters and what happened to them. The auther gives a good believable feel for the texture of these women's inner and outer lives. Not a "feelgood" book, but entertaining, and one that leaves one wiser and touched. Highly recommended. I'd like to hear more by this author. Very good narrator.

A Most Enjoyable Listen
I enjoyed this book very much, it was very touching and well told. The readers did a wonderful job bringing the characters to life. I am not sure that it is a story that men would appreciate as much as women, but I would very confidently reccomend it to any of my women friends. The format of the book is quite effective.

Stepping back in time
The audio duet of two sisters reading letters to one another as their lives unfolded was captivating. It was like entering a time capsule. We forget in this century just how far women’s rights have come. Women need to realize how critical it is to fight for our rights less we lose them. Those rights are currently under attack in the justice system, politically and socially.

Lacks a plot
The book is extraordinary detail surrounding a very basic and thin plot. It's very easy to follow -- almost numbingly easy. An abridged version of the short book would suffice.
That being said, I still enjoyed the book and recommend it as a quick read or listen.
