This warm and heartfelt story about the Chambers family in the small Canadian town of Stonebrook, on the banks of the wide Stonebrook Creek that slowly flows into Lake Huron, is a perfect summer read. Canadian author Bonnie Burnard's masterful novel about three generations in an ordinary small town begins in the 1950s and ends in 1990. The life of one family unfolds over the decades: weddings and funerals, births and anniversaries, generational changes, separations and reunions. The author sensitively and in detail depicts the everyday life of ordinary people. Bonnie Burnard is a wonderful narrator -- a tactful observer of everyday life and people.
