Canada has the most authentic and believable first person narrator I've ever come across. It's a slow book, it isn't for everyone, but I loved it.
Honourable mentions:
The Count od Monte Cristo, by Alexandre Dumas
The Clan of the Cave Bear, by Jean M. Auel
so-soThe first paragraph sets things up, telling the reader of the bank robbery and also about murders, still to come. So, it starts with a “bang”, but after that, the book moves pretty slowly. That being said, I grew up in Southern Saskatchewan and thought the descriptions were very well done. It‘s also always fun to recognize places, and there were a few really small towns mentioned nearby to where I lived. Overall, I‘m considering this one “ok”.
so-soHmmm not a cheerful lockdown read. I found the pace of the novel very slow. What drives ordinary people to commit crimes? Interesting read
pickAn engrossing and at times disturbing account of a boy‘s flight from a family that has - in a most unusual , though uniquely American and believable way - disintegrated. His very survival is central to the story, with a backdrop that in no way romanticises the harsh politics of post-war Nth America. I was mesmerised by Ford‘s use of language which described with poignant accuracy the harsh beauty of the Canadian & mid-western landscape of the USA.

Canada by Richard Ford won the Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Fiction. An excellent novel indeed!

Happy Canada Day!! I‘m trying to start the day off #despocito by relaxing on my front porch with coffee and the book review before it gets too hot. ☕️ 📚 🇨🇦 #canadiangirlinthestates #heatofjuly
Sending my thoughts and prayers to Canada, my Canadian Litten friends and any Canadians I don‘t yet know for the developing Toronto van incident that unfortunately once again looks like has cost the lives of innocent everyday people (possibly based on early reports at this time), but has certainly caused major injuries.
My thoughts are with all of you, and sending my best wishes. 💔 Stay Safe! 🙏
Listening to this one. It‘s not what I expected but then, I rarely read reviews or synopses on books. I prefer to go in blind. It makes me want to explore more of my home. Does that count as “wanderlust”? #booksandshelfiesM18 #wanderlust #canada
It‘s starting it‘s long journey across the pond! @LeahBergen #makingconnections
bailedI really hate bailing on books but I just can‘t go on so am abandoning this at 45% 😩 The style is deliberate and methodical, which is fine, but the characters‘ actions and dialogue seem so unnatural. It‘s the same experience I‘ve had reading certain translated books. The last scene I read was just too much and I have to put this down. Shame, since all the GR reviews I read were so positive.
#PercyCat approves my bail🐱
This has been on my TBR for a while, and since I was actually visiting Canada this weekend I thought it was a perfect next read! It‘s about a totally different part of Canada from where I am but oh well 😂
Celebrating Canada day in chicago! Proud to be a Canadian. 🇨🇦 🎉 💥 💥 🎂 #150 #canadianbornandbred #winnipeger happy Canada day to all!
Bottom half of TBR1 in a dark corner. What should I keep to read? Overwhelmed by all I haven't.
SOMETHING is on its way to SOMEONE!! 😬 #SecretSantaGoesPostal #WinterSolsticeBookExchange
