Cromaboo Mail Carrier

THE CROMABOO MAIL CARRIER is the story of a young working class man and a middle-aged gentlewoman making their separate ways in the world of small town Ontario in the mid-1800s. One of the earliest novels by a Canadian female author, the book explores a unique culture where rough settler habits are rubbing up against the expectations of a growing "proper society." Leslie writes with humour and wit, creating characters who are engaging and accessible even after a century and more.
