If you're interested in reading historical children's fiction set in Saskatchewan, Adeline's Dream might be a good choice.

The author also lives in Saskatchewan.

Ohh, cool. I didn't know that.

Hmm, that's weird. Well, both links seem to be working now. Maybe it was some kind of bug that got resolved fairly quickly. I know Goodreads has, or maybe by this point had, a bug with the bookshelves.

Glad to hear that the links are working. :)

The Mad Trapper (author Rudy Weibe was born and raised there.)

Canada was recommended to me by my local library manager.

That sounds like it's right up my alley, GateGypsy. Thanks for mentioning it.

I read this book a number of years ago and still think about it from time to time. If you want the feel of the setting, this book will certainly give you that.

A Geography of Blood: Unearthing Memory from a Prairie Landscape - set in Eastend, Saskatchewan

I confirm Melissa's suggestion on Richard Ford's Canada is a good read. U.S. author with some settings in Saskatchewan.
My review: http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

The Dog Who Wouldn't Be is a delightful memoir of Farley Mowatt's boyhood in Saskatchewan. The feats of his dog approach tall tales in terms of believability. Very funny.

A great prairie memoir is Small Beneath The Sky. Has anyone else read it?

I haven't.

I just learned of another book set in Saskatchewan, Devotion.

Song of the Sword is set in Regina.
