Summary

Tender, personal, deeply felt, and beautifully crafter, Peter Gzowski's columns inCanadian Livingare models of the essayist's art. InFriends, Moments, Countryside, Gzowski has gathered sixty of his favourite columns about the undercelebrated people, the fleeting moments, and the special places that have most affected him. And especially to introduce this collection, he's penned a lengthy and thoughtful essay on the changes in Canada he's observed from his various vantage points. This is Peter Gzowski at his best: intimate, reflective, and very, very Canadian.
