""Feathering lazily, crazily down,loosed from the hazed softness of the sky, the snow came to rest in startling white bulbs on the dead leaves of the poplars, webbing in between the branches. Just outside the grandmother's room, where she lay quite still in her bed, the snow fell soundlessly, flake by flake piling up its careless weight. Now and again a twig would break off suddenly, relieve itself of a white burden of snow, and drop to earth."
The prose is absolutely beautiful; you are in the scene- in the prairies, in the wind, in the cold... and he creates each character so completely, you wholly understand everyone in the town. Essentially a book about regular every day life...yet the wonder (and pain) that still exists in that."
"This is a beautifully written book by an iconic Canadian author. It describes life on the Canadian prairies during the 1920, as seen through the eyes of a small boy. The descriptive passages are lovely and the character development gives us an insight into the people who lives the simple life of those long ago times. A charming read."
