Coming Home Saskatchewan Remembered By: Ron Evans Publisher: Dundurn Print ISBN: 9781550023794, 1550023799 eText ISBN: 9781459712928, 1459712927 Pages: 216 Copyright year: 2002 Format: EPUB Available from $ 7.99 USD SKU: 9781459712928 Short-listed for the 2002 Saskatchewan Book Awards for Best Non-Fiction and Best Book The stories in Coming Home are as surprising as the landscape of Saskatchewan itself and as varied as its weather. Through the author's reminiscences, we experience prairie life as it was more than sixty years ago, and as it is today. A rich cast of characters appears - neighbours, drunks, misfits - all with a place in the story. These are the tales of a father who lived hard, failed often, and was loved much, of a mother who was an artist at heart but became a teacher and farmer's wife through circumstance. We visit a prairie dance hall with a floor that rests on horsehair, encounter death, baptize a child, participate in a nude massage. We view sex from a farm boy's perspective, learn of home brew and cabbage rolls, eat breakfast with friends, and meet the author's favourite waitress. A sense of awe and wonder emerges through encounters with the land and the unfolding of the changing seasons. SKU: 9781550023794 Ebooks here: https://ebookscoffee.sellpass.io/products/Coming-Home
