Where nests the water hen  Cover Image Book Book

Where nests the water hen / Gabrielle Roy ; introduction by Gordon Roper ; translated from the French by Harry L. Binsse.

Summary:

"The story of Where Nests the Water Hen is as pure as the lives of the people in it – and as unforgettable. Set in the remote wilderness of northern Manitoba, this sunny, tender idyll of daily frontier life captures, as few novels ever have, the spirit and the surroundings of the pioneers – not the adventurers and trailblazers who make the headlines, but rather the humble folk who follow after and remain, living out their lives in obscurity to keep the trails open." -- Back cover.
