Thanks also for sharing a little of what it was like to grow up in rural Saskatchewan. Your post evokes it effectively, and it seems the book does as well. I think books like that, where one can really identify with the setting and people, resonate with the reader in a way that other books, no matter how well-written, don't always do.

I have never tried it before. It does not look easy. I liked reading about life in rural Saskatchewan, especially on a Saskatchewan farm. I find the "isolation and vastness" of your province a bit scary but appealing nonetheless.Prashant C. Trikannadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16079354501998741758noreply@blogger.com
