{"product_id":"9781459712928","title":"Coming Home: Saskatchewan Remembered","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e Short-listed for the 2002 Saskatchewan Book Awards for Best Non-Fiction and Best Book \u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The stories in \u003ci\u003eComing Home\u003c\/i\u003e are as surprising as the landscape of Saskatchewan itself and as varied as its weather. Through the author’s reminiscences, we experience prairie life as it was more than sixty years ago, and as it is today. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  A rich cast of characters appears — neighbours, drunks, misfits — all with a place in the story. These are the tales of a father who lived hard, failed often, and was loved much, of a mother who was an artist at heart but became a teacher and farmer’s wife through circumstance. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  We visit a prairie dance hall with a floor that rests on horsehair, encounter death, baptize a child, participate in a nude massage. We view sex from a farm boy’s perspective, learn of home brew and cabbage rolls, eat breakfast with friends, and meet the author’s favourite waitress. A sense of awe and wonder emerges through encounters with the land and the unfolding of the changing seasons.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dundurn Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47143607206128,"sku":"9781459712928","price":7.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781459712928_p0.jpg?v=1763866725","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781459712928","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
