David Carpenter captures the poetry of the prairies, confronts the brevity of life and the depression brought on by the long Saskatchewan winter, takes hilarious delight in his own and other people's foibles, and reflects on the importance of his friends. "Carpenter's reflections sparkle with insight, like snow under stars on a cold Prairie night. This is a sweet book, as unpretentious as supper in the kitchen".--OTTAWA CITIZEN.
I was born and raised in Saskatchewan so could really relate to all the seasons the author described. I'm not a fisherman but really enjoyed he author's tales of fishing.
