Happy Caturday from my favourite napping pals!
Started this 2007 Giller Prize winner today (for #192025 natch). One of those works of Canlit that everyone seems to have read except for me. Decidedly mixed reviews on Litsy including a definitive pan of Hay's writing style by @Lindy 🤨🙂 whose opinion I respect. So we shall see...

TheKidUpstairs I've actually never read this one, either! I've got it on my shelf, probably been sitting there since about 2007 😂 Someday, maybe, I'll get to it! 4h
Librarybelle A lovely Caturday! 1h

The Sentimentalists: A Novel | Johanna Skibsrud

Definitely deep in the poetic stream. This does not always lend itself to the full story as I might have chosen to structure this differently- reserving the imagistic for the Vietnam segment so beautifully juxtaposed with the father‘s decline. Ultimately this is a beautiful story of love, family bonds, and events that shape us.

Children of My Heart | Gabrielle Roy

The life of a young teacher in 30s Manitoba. Her pupils‘ poverty is incredible. Meanwhile, where I live, the fog outside is so thick right now it‘s like living in cotton wool...

JulietteReadsALot J'avais bien aimé Un jardin au bout du monde, merci pour cette recommandation ;) J'avais beaucoup aimé ses descriptions, très bien écrites, merci de m'avoir refait penser à cette écrivaine. 3mo
Catsandbooks Oh wow! 3mo
kwmg40 Nice to see a recommendation for Gabrielle Roy. I've not read this one, but I've read and liked very much several of her other books. 3mo
Dilara @Adventures_of_a_French_Reader @kwmg40 I don't know if I'd go as far as recommend it - her portrayals of minorities made me slightly uneasy sometimes - but it was an interesting window into another world and another time. 3mo

Light Lifting | Alexander MacLeod
post image

Rainy Saturday and managed to finish two books. Even better, they both fulfill a #192025 prompt. And they coordinate. 😀
Anais Nin's diary has been my morning coffee read and I've been making my way through the MacLeod collection for a few weeks. The stories reminded me a lot of his father's (Alistair MacLeod) writing. Quintessential Canlit.
Anyhoo feeling accomplished and grateful for an un-schdeduled Saturday.

Written by one of Canada‘s musical icons, I‘m very much looking forward to reading this “rural fairy tale, coming-of-age story.”

The Bittlemores | Jann Arden

I love all things Jann, and this is not an exception. 🥰
The Bittlemores is both tragic, and funny. The characters are multidimensional and relatable - even the cantankerous antagonists, Mr. and Mrs. Bittlemore. Jann said that this story has been inside her for years, and I am so glad she was finally able to finish and share it.

We Want What We Want: Stories | Alix Ohlin

Bailedbailed

I really thought I‘d like this because I loved Rogue Wave which was also the reason why I wanted to read more by Ohlin.She‘s a wonderful writer,very talented,but this collection is not for me.By the forth story I was only annoyed&frustrated by the characters.I found them all extremely unlikeable&I don‘t think it will get better for me.I‘ll try one of her novels or other story collections.
