The Geography of Home
Publisher: Island Studies Press$24.95In The Geography of Home, MacDonald traces the rural Prince Edward Island that he grew up in from the late 1950s through the early 1970s, a landscape on the cusp of far-reaching change. The depiction of an era offered here is a mixed-media portrait, combining prose and poetry, history and memory. MacDonald writes that while history attempts to trace changes over time, “memories are the little, coloured stones that we collect to assemble a mosaic of our lived past.”
