We Watch the Waves
We Watch the Waves is Susan Riley's personal quest of discovery, a daughter learning to break the silence surrounding her father's passing in post-World War II Winnipeg. What drives Riley's search is the sudden revelation that her father's death had been by suicide. The mystery surrounding this incident, when the author was nine months old, grows with each new step Riley takes in her search. Years after his death, Riley follows her father and RCAF Squadron 413 to the Shetland Islands in northern Scotland and south around the Cape of Good Hope to Ceylon in 1942. An intersecting path follows her mother to her wartime teaching job in Minnesota and her bond with an American social worker. Riley re-discovers her youthful parents as they try to survive in a sexually repressive upper-class Winnipeg milieu. This memoir is written by a journalist and lawyer engaged in a dogged search for the truth with an unexpected emotional impact. The book will be read with interest for its World War II insights and its social history of Winnipeg. Primarily, its significance is that of a daughter attempting to understand the pain of a father's unexplained death.
