When he got there, he was home for the rest of his life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom the true nature of fishing to the harsh realities of raising a family in the woods, from the role of fear in the bush to the small nuances of family relationships, \u003ci\u003eA Life in the Bush\u003c\/i\u003e is painted on a canvas both vast and richly detailed.

He also evokes, perhaps for the first time in Canadian literature, the bush the way bush people see it, an insider's view of life in the totemic Canadian wilderness.","brand":"Penguin Canada","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44209870274815,"sku":"9780143053316","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780143053316_s600x595.jpg?v=1779818740","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9780143053316","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
