This Land of Snow – Cross country skiing is like “walking in cursive”. So writes Anders Morley. The author now splitting his time between Littleton, NH and Italy, recounts his trek across Canada on skiis ~ a journey as much into the soul as it is into the frigid heart of sparsely populated interior Canada.

Life’s lessons, an attempt at finding oneself, little known facts about the natural world’s adaptations to winter, gaining a fresh perspective all pop up in Morley’s account. As we settle into the winter months, those who thrive on the out-of-doors, relish winter, are camping enthusiasts, recall youthful adventures that shaped their later adult lives may nod in agreement with Morley’s personal givens and what his life journey provided him.

The date for discussing this book, available in hard and soft cover and on Audible will be announced as well as the format for sharing our thoughts about the book. Look for such announcement. Both of these titles would make nice gifts for the holidays.

On Friday, December 4th, at 3 PM, we will meet to share our impressions of Elizabeth Berg’s novel Year of Pleasures, about Betta Nolan who promised her husband that, upon his death, she would pick up the pieces and move to a small town and create a satisfying new life for herself.
