Customer Reviews

The way we were

This is a wonderful story of a multi-generational family brought to life through the loving, humourous storytelling of Margo Bates. The descriptions of the small town life in northern BC and its characters rings true. My daughter, city born and bred, delighted in reading the book as much as I did. This is a story of love, acceptance, tolerance and most of all: family.

Old-fashioned fun

I thoroughly enjoyed this light-hearted book, that takes us back to small-town, northern Canada in the 1960's. Through a series of hilarious letters between Maggie and her eccentric Grandmother, we hear about the adventures of some of the town's oddest characters and are reminded that the simple things in life are often the most memorable. Reminds us to laugh at ourselves a bit more often!

a most entertaining and enjoyable book to read

Margo Bates has written a most humourous account about her life in the North. I envy her relationship with her Grandmother, and I wish that I'd had one like her. I'm looking forward to the next installment. There has to be more!

"Laugh Out Loud" Belly Laughs!

Read this book on the beach in Punta Cana and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It took me back to my own childhood - first bra experiences and young girl crushes. It made me remember how simple things were then, how easily we were pleased and how exciting life could be. The grandmother's exploits are hilarious! An easy and entertaining read!

Great Read!

Totally enjoyed this easy read of a young girl's relationship with her eccentric grandmother in the '60s. Lots of references to stuff from that era that you had forgotten about. Funny. Perfect choice for a rainy afternoon and a comfy couch. The "fur follies" were hilarious - check it out!
