The great Canadian cottage novel
On the (near) eve of this long weekend, check out my new post at Canadian Bookshelf, and help us answer the question: does the great Canadian cottage novel have yet to be written?

May 18th, 2011 at 12:16 PMIt’s not all cottage, but Mordecai Richler’s “Joshua Then and Now” would be on my list.
May 18th, 2011 at 1:37 PMI’d recommend David MacFarland’s Summer Gone for its bittersweet evocation of the languid and dangerous days of summer.
May 20th, 2011 at 11:51 AMI see you mentioned “A Handful of Time” in your review. I loved that book!
I was also going to mention “My American Cousin,” which does not take place at a cottage per se, but has that cottagy feel. The other drawback is it’s a movie, not a book. oops!
May 23rd, 2011 at 9:38 PMI loved A Handful of Time too– Kit Pearson was a favourite of mine back in the Scholastic Book Order days. And yes to My American Cousin! It should be a book…
May 23rd, 2011 at 10:02 PMI can’t see your post: the link takes me to a home page indicating that the site will be launch on the 7th of June… Should I just be patient?
June 3rd, 2011 at 11:03 AMYes, indeed, patience is required! Our pre-launch blog has come down as we await the real thing. But it will be back up when the site launches on Tuesday (along with so much more!).
