Incredibly real stories reverberating with Canadian context
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
When I read this book I was astounded! It was the first time I read about women in Canada that had a realistic feel without any stereotypical canadiana themes. The various short stories portray people with whom the reader can identify because they are presented as women dealing with many of the problems our society presents today, like divorce and its ramifications. The heroines are usual everyday people dealing with family, children and emotions in a courageous manner without becoming melodramatic caricatures. This was the first book I read where I identified with the female characters!! I highly reccomend this and all books by Audrey Thomas.
