It is astonishing that Fall on Your Knees by Canadian writer Ann-Marie MacDonald is her debut novel. So assured is the style, so intricate the plotting, and so accomplished the portrait of the four unforgettable Piper sisters, one would expect that the author was a seasoned novelist. Fall on Your Knees can best be described as an epic: it details the lives, and particularly the childhoods, of the four sisters; it moves in place from Cape Breton Island (a remote region of Nova Scotia) to New York, and in time from pre World War One to the Jazz Age and the depression; and it contains love, pain, death, joy, and triumph in varying degrees. This is quite an achievement for a first-time novelist.
