Gertrude Baskerville - The Lady of Algonquin Park (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

In the spring of 1941, Gertrude Baskerville set out from the Kitchener area with her ailing husband and 16-year old son to join her brother in establishing a new life on the shores of South Tea Lake in Algonquin Park. Within a year, her husband had died, her son was shipped overseas to fight in WWII and her brother decided that better opportunity lay for him and his family to move to British Columbina. Gertie, as she was called, was totally alone. But Algonquin Park had captured her soul, so rather than return to Kitchener to live, she decided to stay and see if she could carve out a life for herself in the Algonquin Park wilderness. This is her story.
