A Homage to a rural life.The drawings, watercolour paintings, and stories within these pages pay homage to rural life in the Eastern Townships of Quebec. They explore the character of the people, the work they do, the pace of their lives, the manner in which they seek to maintain harmony with their surroundings, and their responses to change and the passage of time. These stories express knowledge of family, ancestry, and community: long memories for patterns of weather and the seasons, the joyful and difficult times of the past, the flavour of their speech.
