Hoda is earthy, bawdy, vulnerable, big-hearted, and the daughter of an impoverished Jewish couple who emigrated from Russia to Canada to escape persecution. Growing up in a low-income area of Winnipeg, she transitions form a tumultuous childhood to a life of prostitution. In the neighborhood, she is considered a crackpot and worse; she experiences cruelty and bigotry but her quest for love, which brings hope out of humiliation, is one of the most memorable in modern fiction.
Crackpot, set in the period between two world wars, is Adele Wiseman's comic vision, for all its darkness. Somewhat satirically, the novel touches on puritanical hypocrisy and the inhumanity of institutions. Hoda, caught in a web of relationships in her family, is its great heartbeat.
