Told through multiple narrators, The Witness At The Gates is both a political thriller and a family romance. Walter Abbott, thirty-six, works on chemical weapons at a U.S. government weapons facility; his pacifist brother, Henry, holds a daily non-violent protest vigil outside the facility gates. Walter's Canadian-born wife, Elizabeth, whose conscience is increasingly disturbed by the work her husband does, begins to wonder if she has married the wrong brother. Set mostly in the year l986, the novel is an exploration of recent history we would do well to remember.
Claudia Morrison, now a Canadian citizen, was born and educated in the United States. She has been a politically involved, American-watching ex-patriate since l970. Her works include an acclaimed novel, a collection of stories, and a prize-winning collection of poems.

The Witness at the Gates
I really enjoyed this - it was full of Haggard-y goodness. It is a story of heroic proportions with Rachel Dove mistaken for a white goddess by the Zulu people. They'd like her to stay with them always, for good fortune. She, luckily, has a fair share of smarts, intuition, and Scottish psychic powers to allow her to occasionally read the future. These qualities and the help of heroic Richard (also drop dead handsome, so its a nice package) may help her to escape with her life. Unfortunately, Rachel must also thwart evil Ishmael's plans to force her to marry him. Haggard explains Ishmael's personality with one of the best summaries of the evils of not correcting spoiled children I've ever read.
It was a cracking good adventure. However, it was no People of the Mist, which remains my favorite. I miss Otter, who was such a great heroic sidekick, and Ishmael, while clearly nutso, is no match for Soa's batshit craziness.
