Résumé
Writer Sharon Butala and her husband, Peter, decided to let a field on their Saskatchewan land return to its natural state. Over a twenty-year period, she ruminated over its secrets, travelling back in time from the dinosaur period and the… Ice Age to the more recent life of the Amerindians and the arrival of the settlers, ranging over prehistory, natural history, Amerindian custom, the farming and ranching ways of life, and the politics of the West today. As she tried to understand its lessons, the field became a tabula rasa on which she could project her own dreams and imaginings. 2000.
