Why read it?
1 author picked Who Has Seen the Wind as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Set on a Canadian prairie plain in the 1930s, Who Has Seen the Wind tells the coming-of-age story of a young Saskatchewan boy, Brian O’Connal, as he seeks meaning in life, death, and God. I love this book for its lyrical use of the wind which constantly sweeps across the prairie and through every aspect of the story. This book influenced me as a writer because I hoped to personify the sea the way W.O Mitchell did the wind.
From Annie's list on timeless stories whose settings shape the plot.
