Also, Eliza longs for a friend, there is Cornelia Webb next door, but she's always too sick or complains. . Yes, "authentic" diaries would be "better", but would the language really hold the modern student's attention? I was so glad when I found out that Jean Little was the author, since she is my favourite in children's literature.
They are shocked, in grief, and of course cry (I cried too) There father is so shocked that he doesn't speak to anyone. Did the diary writer know what WOULD be important in the context of history? Caught up in his enthusiasm, she couldn't understand her parents' less-than-enthusiastic reaction. In this book, Eliza Bates has a very large family. War is confusing. It was absolutely amazing how I put myself in Eliza Bates' shoes! The Doobie Brothers - Far From Home Lyrics. You can feel your eyes sparkle and your arms swing to the thumping of the drums or the drone of the bagpipes. Jean Little is an incredible author who is able to reach peoples' emotions and hearts through her characters and I cherish the stories that I've read of hers.
So much happens in this book that's unsaid, but resonates through the text in a way that still manages to be felt and influence the other characters. Then she surprises Eliza, saying that she will soon have the right to vote. Every time that I read it (as well as other dear America's and dear Canada's) it is all new. Out of all the Dear Canada books this is by far my favourite.
So interesting. I am compelled to her and how honest she is in her loneliness, at times. I chose this one in particular because I am participating in a WWI Reading Challenge.It's Christmas 1916, and the first thing twelve year old Eliza Bates writes in her new diary,that her sister Verity is heartless because she called her immature and went skating without her. I love them so much and Jean Little is an amazing author whom I adore!!
And it had a bit of a sad ending and a vague plotline.I enjoy Little's writing for this series. I would re-read this book, again.anyone interested in Canada's historyone interested in Canada's historyBrothers Far From Home is by far one of my top favourites from the Dear Canada series and I definitely recommend it to others.
Highly recommended!Jean Little is a treasure, and this is a wonderful book. Nobody seems to see her grief because her parents have six other children and her brother Hugo has left to fight in the war and her brother Jack is about to go overseas to going the Air Force. So well-written, and she's a master of subtlety for young readers. It's absolutely heart-wrenching, and Jean Little didn't shy away from the sadness, and just write a book with happy ending. I Love it.I love this Dear Canada book! Reading this book i got to see someone else's feelings that relate much to my own.
We’d love your help. The Doobie Brothers ♫ Far From Home ☆ʟʏʀɪᴄ ᴠɪᴅᴇᴏ☆ - YouTube I chose this one in particular because I am participating in a WWI Reading Challenge.Reason for Reading: I am working my way through this series.
I thought this was one of the books in the series where the characters were fleshed out the very most. I loved this book.
It really helped me to see what it would be like to be in WW1. Eliza discIt's Christmas 1916, and the first thing twelve year old Eliza Bates writes in her new diary,that her sister Verity is heartless because she called her immature and went skating without her. All of these girls show such courage and tenacity in which I admire. I loved it. But I have to admit that I have a soft spot in my heart for Eliza Bates and the story she tells. Filter by post type.
When her brothers are sent to war, she wonders if shell ever see them again.All of the books in this series are great. I also did not like how Eliza kept acknowledging the reader.This a great book, for all ages, I think so.
The book is well written and really portrays the emotion and grief of families suffering from a loved one being killed. Luckily, these 32 novels are ready to sweep you away to vastly different eras and se...It has been two long years since Eliza's beloved older brother, Hugo, went away to war. But Eliza keeps this to herself and surprises her parents when Rosemary, and their son Rufus Hugh come to stay.
A beautiful and sensitive handling of grief and confusion and fear and depression, but still manages to be age-appropriate and historically accurate as well.
It was good to read as well because although I've read a lot of literature about WWII, I haven't read nearly as much about WWI, and Now, I might be biased because this was the first Dear Canada book that I ever read, but this is definitely my favourite book in the series.
I love this book so much.
My brother is in the military and he is so dear to me. Her brothers were fighting for her country.
!I found this book second-hand, read it, and Loved IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I own it and really love it.

Now that her other brother, Jack, has also enlisted, she yearns for the safe return of both brothers. Be the first to ask a question about Brothers Far from Home
I love this book, it's my favorite book in all the Dear Canada series.I read this book and loved it!
Eliza keeps writing Jack and keeping his secrets. Yarishko Horo 5.
I thought the author was very bold in her descriptions of shell-shock and was happily surprised to read her talk about desertion, which was very common in this war.
Caught up in his enthusiasm, she couldn't understand her parents' less-than-enthusiastic reaction. It somewhat relates to my life. I thought the author was very bold in her descriptions of shell-shock and was happily surprised to read her talk about desertion, which was very common in this war. Another good "Dear Canada" novel that puts you back into history with the use of a diary format; meaning you learn something about our nation's history when you read it.I loved this book. A beautiful and sensitive handling of grief and confusion and fear and depression, but still manages to be age-appropriate and historically accurate as well.
He tells Eliza that he's now married to Rosemary and they have a baby boy. My friend thought I was crazy until I lent her I LOVED THIS BOOK! I remember enjoying this one. I had to stay up all night just to finish it!
