          <body><![CDATA[My 83YO dad is from the little mining town in Cape Breton where the story begins--his father owned a general store there--and Dad was very impressed how well the author captured the people and the place. As it happens, I was raised on Canadian military bases in the 60s and, was similarly impressed at how well the author describes life in CFB Centralia in &quot;How the Crow Flies&quot;. (A fellow Cdn army brat my age concurred: MacDonald was incredibly on in describing the era and the life.) Wonder if US army brats felt the same sense of deja vu? ]]></body>
