She describes a life of backbreaking labour, poverty, and hardship on a pioneer farm in the colonial wilderness. Her sharp observations, satirical character sketches, and moments of despair and terror were a startling contrast to the widely circulated optimistic portrayals of life in British North America, written to entice readers across the Atlantic. A frank and fascinating account of how one woman coped, not only with a new world, but with a new self, this unabridged text continues to justify the international sensation it caused when it was first published in 1852. \u003cb\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e   \u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Susanna Moodie (CA)","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback Trade paperback (US)","offer_id":48314762690752,"sku":"9780735252790","price":22.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0653\/1032\/6976\/files\/BNCImageAPI_6641c341-789a-4381-8efa-4a518132e2bf.jpg?v=1779383223","url":"https:\/\/stirlingbookco.ca\/products\/9780735252790","provider":"Stirling Book Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
