At the heart of Once Upon a Hill are the author's grandparents, Jack & Kate, whose sedate old age belies the turmoil of their early life together, & apart
- they had to wait ten years to marry. For Glenn Patterson trying to make sense of this small-town life in a family dominated by a formidable matriarch becomes a detective story written against the reluctance of surviving family members to talk & the simple erosion of memory. It becomes, too, a revelation of how much his own life
- not least his own mixed marriage
- has been shaped by events decades before he was born. So Once Upon a Hill is part memoir, part all-of-themoir. It is the story of what happens when history tries to squeeze itself into a town of ten thousand people, most of them related somewhere down the line. It is about the consequences of violence & the conditions required for love to survive. It is a story of frailty, fortitude, & finally forgiveness.* * With footnotes.
