![]() ![]() I would consider no vocation worth separating me from my cats, my children. In many books and films too, it is easy to exclaim that we would not make decisions like some did. After marrying a doctor, they moved to Taiwan where half of Flora's family resided and knew doctors were essential. Flora was one of Canada's first lady medical school graduates, like her female cousin! Her elder brother, Harvey, was in her class and did not excel like she did. Every five years they reunite for a sabbatical, called a furlough, living as a whole family the same amount of time. Elder children attend school in Saskatchewan. Her two eldest brothers served in WWI.įlora, Jean's Mother, is the fourth child of a minister in Taiwan. Children are raised by relatives, long enough to love those families and return reluctantly where they belong. “ His Banner Over Me”, 1995, reminded me of “Light A Penny Candle” by Maeve Binchy. I like Jean Little, so this adaptation about her Mother is perfect. I needed an immigrant book for the Canadian group. I sample general fiction and cultural portraits, selecting angles interesting to me. ![]()
