A new edition of Philip Child's great Canadian novel of the First World War. A horrifying description of war, specifically embodied in the vain and inglorious futility of the First World War, God's Sparrows is a novel rich in compassion and firm in its faith in the human spirit. Philip Child created a Canadian family saga, a modern pilgrim's progress in which individuals surmount the corrosive effects of brutality, maintaining their ability to love and endure under the most agonizing circumstances. His book, first published in 1937, remains as a stirring testimony to that ability. It offers profound insight into the experience of the First World War, not just as a catastrophe affecting his characters but as a crucible in which the whole of this nation found itself tried.

I’m used to being in the saddle.
But she wants to ride me. Well yeehaw, baby. You can be my cowgirl anytime.
Just remember, I buck like a stallion so hold on tight.
I didn’t come here to help her with the ranch.
I came to steal it.
But the more we work together, the more I get to know her.
And the more I get to know her, the more I want to take her into the barn for a good old fashioned roll in the hay.
I want to feel her thighs gripped tightly around my waist.
I want to look up and see her bouncing on me like a rodeo rider.
And here’s the real kicker. I don’t want it to end.
They say the most beautiful thing about this ranch is the sunset over the ocean.
But they’re wrong.
It's Alice.
And I don’t think I can ever let her go. Views: 15
