Review:
A collection of 5 stories of 5 unique lives, all of whom were shaped and changed by the Canadian north. It was Berton’s 50th and final book, and is an excellent and very readable narrative. I always love when I place I have lived or visited gets mentioned. Like Edmonton, or Athabasca (best burger bar!) or Vegreville.
