"First, I'll tell about the robbery our parents committed. Then about the murders, which happened later."

When fifteen-year-old Dell Parsons' parents rob a bank, his sense of normal life is forever altered. In an instant, this private cataclysm drives his life into before and after, a threshold that can never be uncrossed.

His parents' arrest and imprisonment mean a threatening and uncertain future for Dell and his twin sister, Berner. Willful and burning with resentment, Berner flees their home in Montana, abandoning her brother and her life. But Dell is not completely alone. A family friend intervenes, spiriting him across the Canadian border, in hopes of delivering him to a better life. There, afloat on the prairie of Saskatchewan, Dell is taken in by Arthur Remlinger, an enigmatic and charismatic American whose cool reserve masks a dark and violent nature.

Undone by the calamity of his parents' robbery and arrest, Dell struggles under the vast prairie sky to remake himself and define the adults he thought he once knew. But his search for grace and peace only moves him nearer to a harrowing and murderous collision with Remlinger, an elemental force of darkness.

A true masterwork of haunting and spectacular vision from one of America's greatest writers, Canada is a profound novel of boundaries traversed, innocence lost and reconciled, and the mysterious and consoling bonds of family. Told in spare, elegant prose, both resonant and luminous, it is destined to become a modern classic.

Rate Regarding Books Canada

The world doesnt usually think about bank robbers as having children--though plenty must. But the childrens story--which mine and my sisters is--is ours to weigh and apportion and judge as we see it. Years later in college, I read that the great critic Ruskin wrote that composition is the arrangement of unequal things. Which means its for the composer to determine whats equal to what, and what matters more and what can be set to the side of lifes hurtling passage onward. What do you do when

I'll admit I started this book with prejudice. I love Canada. I mostly love his writing which I find to be consistently gorgeous, in a quiet, beautifully-cadenced way. His stories are not the sort that usually attract me-men in America, searching for their identities. But (possibly as a result of the beauty of the prose), I am always drawn in and touched by Ford's men. He renders their malaise precisely and gently.In Canada, Ford's most recent work, the "man" is a 15 year old boy, Dell Parsons.

Canada by Richard Ford is about two unidentical twins whose parents in 1960 rob a bank. We are told right at the start murders will also occur. The twins are fifteen, one a boy the other a girl. The boy, Dell, tells us of that summer and the events that soon follow. He makes it very clear that this is his story and had his parents or his sister told of the events the story told would not be the same. The book is very much a character study, both of the twins and their parents. The story is

Firstly, I didn't finish reading this book. Secondly, I usually don't comment on/review the things I've read, but I was asked by someone on Facebook why I stopped reading Canada. This was my reply: I've never been a Ford fan and took a risk on this one based on all the hype here in Canada, which I can only now assume was based solely on the title. I thought the narrative was poorly executed and the characters just collections of words. Ford failed at turning those collections of words into the

Yaaawn.. I must say it is very well written and I could picture all the boring details and bleak scenes.. which seemed to go by at an excruciating, belabored pace. It was like watching a train-wreck in super-duper slow motion, frame-by-frame: Two train-wrecks to be more precise, for this poor little slob of a main character. This is one of those books that may actually translate into one of those acclaimed "films".. which, if it does, I will then have wished that I had waited for the film to

Sometimes I feel that the publishing world has a sickly fear of boring the reader. In the YA world, which is the world I inhabit as a writer, the pressure is never-ending for the novel to clip along at a lively pace less you lose your young hyper-active reader. It's almost as if we must do all we can to give TV and Video Games and Instant Messaging a good run for their money. So it is good to read authors who are willing to give their readers a different kind of pleasure - one that requires a
