Summary
Author Wiebe describes the vanished world of Speedwell, Saskatchewan, an isolated, poplar-forested, mostly Mennonite community - and Rudy's first home. Too young to do heavy work, Rudy witnessed a way of life that was soon to disappear, including clearing the… stony land and digging wells, and remembers sorrow at the death of a beloved sister and the sweet discovery of the power of reading. Some descriptions of sex and some strong language. 2006.
