No Such Thing as Far Away. How to write a great review.
The review must be at least 50 characters long. The title should be at least 4 characters long. Your display name should be at least 2 characters long. What's not to like? I didn't mind Minnie that much. Sure, she was an inconsiderate, nasty girl, your typical antagonist rather like I remember Nellie in Little House on the Prairie , but I saw a glimmer of redemption towards the end of the book.
I didn't particularly like Ahafia Magus, Lesia's mom. Gregory Magus, her dad Jun 21, Marilyn rated it really liked it Shelves: I read "Lesia's Dream" for one example at what life could have been like for her, so I was reading more for the "historical" part of historical fiction. But along with giving a detailed picture of the natural and human world in part of Manitoba around the time of World War I, the book has a strong and endearing protagonist, and the story flows very nicely.
It turned out to be a quick read because I was so thoroughly pulled into Lesia's story. Dec 29, Cindy Lol rated it it was amazing Shelves: Feb 05, Erin rated it it was amazing Recommends it for: I am so surprised why this book isn't more popular!
Sure, it isn't the kind of story most want to read about, but I still love it! Lesia and her dream have such an important message within this book, and even though I found this at an old secondhand store, I cherish it.

Lesia walked carefully, crunching over rocks and twigs, brushing against the prairie grass with her skirt. It was nothing more than a burdei, a log and sod-brick dugout.
It had a sloping, lopsided roof, a hole in one wall where a window was supposed to be, and another larger hole just waiting for a door. One side had been roughly plastered with clay, but tufts of grass poked out the other side like hair standing on end. Mama began to cry.
With lots of windows. There was a small clump of logs on one side, and a clump of willows on the other.
