The characters in this book about a small town in Saskatchewan seem like people you've met or would like to. The vignettes roll slowly into each other quietly and perfectly.

Babs_book_obsession I have heard it is a good audiobook. In Canada the book is called Cool Water. 8y

Many of the chapters of this novel read so much like self contained short stories, that I thought it was indeed an interconnected collection until I went back and read the summary again. It's all character & place exploration of a small community in Saskatchewan, not much plot to speak of, and contains some beautiful writing. It is right in my wheelhouse. I'll be checking out more!

Quiet short studies of character & place, which is right up my alley. They are interconnected short stories that present as a microcosm of rural Saskatchewan, Canada. I'm enjoying every minute of listening during my long dog walks. I'm definitely seeking out Dianne's other works.

Cool Water is a lovely book written from the perspective of various residents of the fictional prairie town of Julliet, Saskatchewan. Dianne Warren does a fine job of capturing the rhythm and mood of small town life. Every character in this novel feels familiar to me as does the setting--the oft mentioned metropolis of Swift Current is only an hour away from where I live ➡️ review on Goodreads https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7811046-cool-water

Taking a short break from Flavia. Book group meets Wednesday and this is our choice for October. I finally got around to borrowing it from a friend today. Twenty-nine pages in, I think I'm in love.
