by William R. Marshall (Author)
What's it like being the only Anglophones settling into the rural Beauce region south of Québec City, where no one keeps a lock on their door? What kind of struggles does one encounter as a young adult living in communal housing in Peterborough, Ontario in the era of love, peace, and rock and roll? How does it feel to eke out a rugged living in a remote cabin in Brighton Beach, BC, without any experience of that lifestyle?
Author William R. Marshall can tell you the answers, since these are all lives he's lived. Full of warmth, heart, and a delightful sense of humour, Framed by Our Houses is a gorgeous collection of stories of Marshall's time spent in different houses across Canada, from farm to sea and city. Recounting stories of his life living in, staying in, and visiting these houses across the nation-and across the span of his life-Marshall paints a charming portrait of Canadian life, touching on all manner of rites and rituals of childhood, adolescence, adulthood, and aging as he does, as well as gesturing to wider issues of settler-Indigenous relations, immigration, and the increasing loss of community roots in the modern world. In such a world, we might all be better off doing as Marshall has, trading roots for webs, finding our place amidst a sprawling network of relationships spanning space and time.
