Más información sobre el libro

Verena Berger lives the typical European twentieth century immigrant dream. In 1979, she and her husband, Willy, moved - speaking little to no English - from a densely populated Switzerland to Central British Columbia. Verena's collection of creative non-fiction writings include their experiences as new Canadians living on a remote rural property - where they accumulated a yard full of goats and pigs before building a fence, and had children before running water - and other comical ESL (English as a second language) situations. Immigrants first, second or third generation will relate to these humorous and heartwarming recollections. Verena's writing captures the life of a European urban immigrant to the wilds of Canada. At first overwhelmed by the size of the country, she fell in love with it. Her stories are funny and moving. An excellent read. Ann Walsh, author of The Barkerville Mystery Trilogy and other stories. Bringing to mind the likes of Erma Bombeck, Verena Berger's sliceof- life stories are unique and heart warming, hilarious and thought provoking. A throughly compelling read. Donna Milner, author of "After River" and "The Promise of Rain". Kool-Aid and Cariboo Stew Cover Art: Oliver Berger Cover Photo: Williams Lake River Valley Trail For more information, you may visit ">
