Description
Tante Madeline knew life on the vast Canadian prairie had its hardships. When the work became too much, though, she grew tired of the chores, tired of the hot and cold and maybe even tired of living with Uncle Henri and young Cousin Jakey. Then she dreamed about flowers — luscious riots of them in every size and colour, sweet and rich as her memories, and beautiful as the constant music of the song sparrow — and she devised a bold plan that soon became talk of the village.
By turns touching and humorous, When Flowers Bloom and Sparrows Sing embraces struggle, hope and happiness.
About the author
John Weier believes nothing is simple, especially his writing: his memoirs are novels, and his novels documentary. His poetry is prose and follows diary lines, his prose is poetic. The author of five previous collections of poetry, three works of fiction, two nature memoirs and a children’s book, John often writes about his passions, travel, birding and the violin. Weier lives and writes in Winnipeg where he also works as a luthier.
