Chokecherry By Norma Hawkins

Chokecherry By Norma Hawkins A young librarian in the 1950s marries a minister and leaves all she knows to live in a tiny town in northern Saskatchewan - a place so remote from us today that it might as well be in medieval Morocco. She faces challenges with a charming, low-key aplomb - living without conveniences such as running water, measuring up to previous esteemed ministers’ wives and leaning to play the organ with no talent or training. Like her, we grow to appreciate the villagers with their eccentricities, odd lingo and the certainty that comes with living in a place one’s whole life. Between The Covers CBC Radio Reading
