Description
In Courting Saskatchewan, Carpenter captures the poetry of the prairies, confronts the brevity of life and the depression brought on by the dead of a Saskatchewan winter, takes hilarious delight in his own and other people's foibles, and reflects on the importance of his friends. By turns humorous, light hearted and profound, this intensely personal book is suffused with Carpenter's own keen sense of home and his love of Saskatchewan.
