Customer Reviews

Historical - and hysterical!

A friend of a friend sent this book to a group of us living overseas, and while Monica Hopkins lived her adventures nearly 100years ago, we agree that she could be describing our daily life here. Writing to a friend on the other side of the globe, Hopkins details daily life in the "wilds" of Alberta at the turn of the last century, sharing personal anecdotes about her first year of marriage and interesting characters with whom she lives and works. I highly recommend this title to anyone interested in Canadian history, particularly from a woman's point of view; to anyone living in a new and different culture/ lifestyle than the one to which they are accustomed; and to anyone interested in anecdotal, humorous history. The history of the West will never look the same!
