<p>&#8220;A stirring tale of the Great Depression on Canada&#8217;s Alberta prairie. Readers will be moved.&#8221; &#8212; <i>Publishers Weekly</i> <br><br><b>One of the CBC&#8217;s Canadian Fiction Books to Read in Fall 2024</b></p><p> As the Great Depression winds down and war in Europe looms, the small Prairie community of Grayley is all but abandoned. After a decade of dust and drought, few families remain. With growing season approaching, Abel Dodds and the Wisharts decide to plant their crops once again &#8212; their last chance to make a living on their debt-burdened farms. But when they learn of an impending royal visit, tensions ignite between the neighbours. </p><p>Deeply rooted in the landscape of the Prairies and laced with contemporary concerns, <i>This Bright Dust</i> deftly explores the relationship between people and the land they inhabit. In a richly layered novel, Berkhout tells a moving tale of promise and disillusionment, of near disaster and the cultivation of joy. </p>
