February 2010 Debut of the Month.
If I had a star choice for the month this would be it. It is a devastating, powerful tale of poverty, endurance, jealousy, hardship and sadness, set in 1938 amongst Ukrainian immigrants trying to carve out a life for themselves in the Canadian wilderness. It ends up setting family members against each other in a story that fair hits you in the stomach. A must read.
Comparison: John Steinbeck, Leif Enger (Peace Like a River), Alistair Macleod (No Great Mischief).
Spring, 1938. Teodor returns home after nearly two years spent in prison for the crime of trying to feed his children. Now, he and his family are determined not only to survive, but to build a better life for themselves.
