The View from Enmore Road

The bygone days of Prince Edward Island are vividly evoked in this collection of short stories by life-long PEI resident Dori MacLean. Set near Tyne Valley overlooking the Northumberland Strait of Prince Edward Island, The View from Enmore Road introduces you to the Enman and Frost families in the early decades of the twentieth century. You will read of their lives full of joy despite hardship, of abundance despite lack, and of fun and laughter despite rural isolation. Above all, you will read about the importance of community and family.

The author writes:

“For as long as I can remember, I have loved hearing stories of past times. Stories about what life was like during my parent’s childhood were always my favourites. I was fascinated by the varied personalities of the neighbours on the Enmore Road and of the struggles and joys of the day-to-day life of my grandparents and great-grandparents.

“I want to ensure that these stories are not forgotten. So I have recorded them here for all the generations of the Enman and Frost families who may follow … and for anyone else who likes to immerse themselves in stories of a time long gone.”
