I read three quarters of this in French and the other in English. I have to say it is even more heartwarming and well written in the original language. I have never truly enjoyed a French book before this one, but it was really beautiful.

What beautiful language and powerful writing! Roy has used words to create a vision of her life in a prarie schhol - a life that is full of meaning and emotion. She presents herself and her students in a delightful manner, even when describing less than delightful situations. Roy was able to draw me to the place and time that her story took place with ease.
I would have liked to hear more of some of the characters. There weere a few that I felt we were introduced to, and then they were not mentioned again. What what happened with Arthur or George? If they were important enough to introduce, I feel that they should have been explained as well.

Gabrielle Roy trace des portraits d’enfants ayant touchés son cœur en tant qu’enseignante. Cela me fait penser à de nombreux enfants qui m’ont également touchés en tant qu’éducatrice. Elle a toujours ce doigté si pertinent et juste lorsqu’elle décrit si bien ses personnages et son vécu.
