Compellingly powerful and familiar, yet you can get completely lost in it - not unlike the beautiful Canadian backdrop these stories are set in. Each one is crafted with irresistible attention to detail, and takes the reader on a journey alongside the wild and pure-hearted. Tom is able to exquisitely capture nuances that make us all so very Canadian, while still maintaining the distinct point of view that makes these experiences so unique. The book's raw authenticity and playfulness was a breath of fresh air. I highly recommend this treasure for a little escape and a lot of adventure!
