So glad to come across this UA-cam and the author's interview...Have just finished" The last Garage sale' and will start the "West with Giraffes" today. Very enjoyable. Ya'all!
While many men took to the road to find work, people would fly by night when they couldn't pay the rent. It might explain why the three main characters were elusive about their past. Likewise people didn't tend to ask. So I found the scenario of the Depression totally credible. Men would leave their families in the West of Canada to look for work because the little towns would not provide help to families if their breadwinner was in the home. Unfortunately it was not unknown for families to commit suicide because rural towns went bankrupt. It was that bad.
I was so thrilled to find this interview. I absolutely loved this book!😍 🦒 🦒 ❤
