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 plecat din oras, pregatit sa moara. Dar este, de asemenea, o evocare amuzanta si incantatoare a vietii de la tara: a creste la ferma, a curta o sotie, a deveni profesor si a creste o familie fericita si puternica in mijlocul chinurilor private.
