Summary |
As we enter the world of four-year-old Brian OConnal, his father the druggist, his Uncle Sean, his mother, and his formidable Scotch grandmother (she belshesa lot), it soon becomes clear that this is no ordinary book. As we watch Brian grow up, the prairie and its surprising inhabitants like the Ben and Saint Sammy and the rich variety of small-town characters become unforgettable. This book will be a delightful surprise for all those who are aware of it, but have never quite got around to reading it, till now. |
