Book club selection (via me; session held February 21, 2016).
Third time I've read this short novel.
I much enjoy, find it valuable, selected it for our little book club (session held February 21, 2016).
Something fun: my little wife made up a delightful cassoulet to serve.
My prior discussions are here, and (to a lesser extent) here.
I find it impossible to wander around Quebec (city) without thinking of Jacque and Cecile.
Cather researched carefully and makes it possible for the reader to imagine this tiny rock . . . across a wild ocean . . . amidst a sea of green/trees . . . the effort to preserve French (home) culture . . . etc. The excitement as the ships arrived from France after so many months of complete isolation. Entirely wonderful.
