Summary: Good Reasons for Reading 30 Acres
Review: Perspectives on sweeping social change in rural Quebec and insights into early 20th-century farm life in Quebec and French-Canadian points of view make this book an excellent document for historical inquiry. I personally found this book most rewarding, however, for its views on the relations between parents and children. The journey of the book's central character from his role as family builder and provider toward a position of increasing irrelevance is particularly poignant.
