Críticas:

"We are introduced to an astonishing array of characters who show by their occupations and idiosyncrasies how connected they are to the land. . . . Fonda has taken the landscape and the people of his corner of the Townships and stitched them together into a glorious quirky quilt -- the way the land itself is stitched together by its roads." --Quebec Heritage News "A collection of fascinating and insightful vignettes of life in the Eastern Townships. Illustrated with charming monochrome watercolor sketches by Townships artist Denis Palmer, it is a fine book . . . Nick is a fine writer and his many tales flow effortlessly, pulling the reader along from one to the next, making it all too easy to finish the book at a single sitting . . . A very auspicious debut of a very talented writer." --Sherbrooke Record "Nick Fonda has captured the essence of one of the most unique areas within Canada. This book is full of specific insights into a specific place. It possesses both truth and charm which, in today's world, is a rare combination. It will both enlighten and entertain. Buy it. Read it. Think and ponder universal truths." --Alistair MacLeod, prize-winning author of No Great Mischief

Part history, part travelogue, this charming guide introduces the unassuming but unforgettable people who live and work in the Eastern Townships - the tree-clad, rolling foothills nestled between the St. Lawrence River and the American border. Written in a tongue-in-cheek style by an award-winning journalist, the accounts of quirky people and interesting towns provide plenty of armchair reading - and the attractions of the area will surely beckon to travelers who hope to find the quintessential Canada.. NOTA: El libro no está en español, sino en inglés.
