Canada

Raidergirl3 is a Canadian and suggest these books, together, as the "quintessential Canadian novel."

"Bernice Morgan's novel Random Passage and the sequel, Waiting for Time.  Together, they encompass our rough history with nature, and also our desire to know our history, where we came from and who we are.  Random Passage is a story of the outposts of Newfoundland, as a woman comes to investigate her heritage.  It is told in flashback and describes the very primitive life of the fishers in Newfoundland and how they eked out a living.  I read these books about ten years ago and remember really enjoying them.  Canada - recognizing our history, dealing with nature, and vast in scope."
