Reviews:
- Armin Wiebe's Menno-centric stories add an important element to the literary coverage of "Canadian" culture. Although these people are Caucasian who, for the most part, interact in English, are engaged in the economy of the nation and with the social issues of the hemisphere, they are still an identifiable "sub-culture" who have been here for more than a century. If we are truly to understand our homeland, the more we know and learn about all the people who have chosen to make Canada home, the more we recognize the diverse contributions that have been made to the nation, and the better we understand our country, in a loving, not-too-serious way.
