Résumé
In this unforgettable and heartbreaking novel, Brad Watson tells the story of the life of Jane Chisolm, born in early twentieth-century rural Mississippi with a birth defect that will stand in the way of the central 'uses' fora woman in that time and place : sex and marriage. Yet the world of Miss Jane Chisolm is anything but barren. From the country doctor who adopts her to the hard tactile labour of farm life, from the sensual world of nature around her to the boy who loves but is forced to leave her, the quiet dignity of Miss Jane's life is nothing short of an act of triumph — not only over those who would shun her, but even over the limitations of her own body.

“ Miss Jane -- Learn to embrace your difference ”
Brad Watson's 'Miss Jane' is a rather unique story of a rural Mississippi girl's struggle with a potentially socially handicapping birth defect which renders her incontinent. Yet is struggle really the most appropriate term to qualify Jane Chisholm's simple desire to live like any other human being ? In reality, the reader cannot be indifferent towards Jane's intrepid spirit, confounding her unloving family's resignation towards her incurable condition. The beauty in 'Miss Jane' is in the author's desire to communicate a message of accepting one's difference from other human beings, regardless of less charitable individuals' inability to understand the road less travelled. A beautifully written naturalist novel which captures the frustrations of life in a socially cramped rural setting.
