Swing Low

One morning Mel Toews put on his coat and hat and walked out of town, prepared to die. But it is also a funny, winsome evocation of country life: growing up on farm, courting a wife, becoming a teacher, and rearing a happy, strong family in the midst of private torment.

Intr-o dimineata, Mel Toews si-a pus haina si palaria si a iesit din oras, pregatit sa moara. Dar este si o evocare amuzanta si fermecatoare a vietii la tara: cresterea la ferma, curtarea unei sotii, devenirea profesorului si cresterea unei familii fericite si puternice in mijlocul chinurilor personale.
