VILLAGE OF THE SMALL HOUSES, A Memoir of Sorts, by Ian Ferguson, whereby he has crafted a delightfully idiosyncratic account of growing up in Canada's North. Village of the Small Houses exists somewhere between Frank McCourt's Angela's Ashes and W.O. Mitchell's Who Has Seen the Wind.
In 1959, just one step ahead of the law, Ian Ferguson's parents left the sophisticated big-city life of Edmonton and ended up 846 km due north in Fort Vermilion, the third-poorest community in Canada. It was meant to be a temporary move. Like their neighbours, the Ferguson kids -- Ian and his six brothers and sisters -- grew up without indoor plumbing, central heating or electricity.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Ian Ferguson, born in 1959, is a Canadian author and playwright. He is the brother of journalist and author Will Ferguson, with whom he co-wrote the 2001 book How to Be a Canadian and the 2023 comedic mystery novel I Only Read Murder.
