Wiseman, Adele, novelist (b at Winnipeg, Man 21 May 1928; d at Toronto, Ont 1 June 1992).
Wiseman's Russian-Jewish parents emigrated in the early 1920s from the Ukraine to Winnipeg.
The landscape of Winnipeg and her Jewish heritage were formative influences on the author; immigrant settlement on the Prairies and second-generation acculturation to Canadian society are explored in her fiction.
It is a moving, almost biblical story of a father possessed by his hope for his only son; of a son who rebels against his father’s ideals, yet sacrifices himself to preserve what his father most prizes; and of a grandson who must reconcile the flaws in his inheritance.
AdeleWiseman was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, in 1928.
