From blackboard chalk to curling rocks in the chapter on stone, from mirages to straight-line winds in the essay on light and air, she reflects on her interactions with the elements as a child and how her responses influenced her evolution into adulthood. Braun includes intriguing tidbits about the science and history behind each element as it pertains to life in her unique location on our planet. The book highlights the value and beauty of the simple components of our surroundings that we take for granted growing up, exposes their true complexity, and reveals how the fascination with a “simple” thing can become a lifelong pursuit that sustains our artistic and spiritual needs. LOIS BRAUN grew up in a Mennonite community in southern Manitoba and taught elementary school in Altona until her retirement. She has written four critically acclaimed collections of short fiction, including A Stone Watermelon, which was shortlisted for the Governor General’s Literary Award, and The Penance Drummer, which received the Margaret Laurence Award for Fiction. She is currently a freelance editor and volunteers for local arts- and history-related committees and events. Having lived most of her life on farms, she now resides in Altona with her husband Joe and a cat called Graydi. 4 5 Haunted Manitoba Ghost Stories from the Prairies Matthew Komus 978-1-77337-028-6, $21.95, 232 pages Manitoba may seem like a quiet province, but its prairies teem with paranormal activity.

The short stories, excerpts from novels and memoirs, and several personal essays, were written at points in these women’s lives when they were looking out to and at the world around them. They were facing a traditional world confronting moder- nity: family life during a tumultuous period when parental authority was chal- lenged by political and social movements; sexual awakening during a profound revolutionary period in Europe; longings for independence, education, and cre- ative, artistic expression; the conflicted entry of Yiddish-speaking women into the modern world, beyond the restrictions of traditional Jewish life; the Holocaust and “These are vibrant women, and its aftermath, and adjustment after immigration. their writings should not be read To date, the major anthologies of Yiddish prose in translation have con- only as something from the past, centrated on popular male writers and excluded not only fiction by women but something important to our but their memoirs and other prose writing as well.
