Customer Reviews

tender coming-of-age genre

This tender story, graced with W.P. Kinsella's understated humor and compassion, is written through the eyes of a young boy. I don't really want to use the clique of 'coming-of-age', but I suppose it is in fact such a story. The author is brilliant in that he brings to us a simple tale of a boy and his family that speaks to the tenderest of hearts. The story left me with an unforgettable feeling that has touched me forever. It's the kind of book, I'd like to read once a year. W.P. Kinsella is one of Canada's treasures and I thank him for his story.
