SCOONES ANNY
Last Dance in Shediac: Memories of Molly Lamb Bobak, My Mum
Victoria, British Columbiapictorial paper,, TouchWood Editions. 2015, 1st Edition. (ISBN: 9781771511384) Soft cover, 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Book, pictorial paper, 153 pages : 32 pages of plates, Molly Lamb Bobak (1922-2014) was the first woman to travel overseas as an official Canadian war artist. She was also the daughter of famous Canadian artist Harold Mortimer-Lamb, whose contemporaries included Emily Carr, A.Y. Jackson, and Jack Shadbolt. In this homage to her artist mother, Anny Scoones rounds out her mother's public profile by revealing personal stories. Anny's memories reveal the funny and touching details of her relationship with Molly, from the road trips they took together to the visits Molly would make to Victoria to visit Anny on Glamorgan Farm, and the lovely chaos that ensued when Anny's five dogs would greet Molly in the car. Anny shares their little inside jokes and the memories they made together in a way that brings their connection-beyond mother-daughter bond to close friendship-to life for the reader. Very Good.
