1 author picked Bird's Eye View as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

The heroine—and the book does have a streak of chick lit about it—sounded like the real people I met while working as a reporter in Saskatchewan during the mid-1970s. Her hometown was recognizable, too. I keep hoping some of the spirit of these places and their people will survive well into the 2000s.
From Mark's list on novels depicting regions of Canada.
