Goodreads has attributed this book to the wrong Brian Doyle. It was written by the American Brian Doyle, who died last year and wrote Mink River, The Plover, and many other wonderful books.
This collection of essays begins with a remembrance written by Jim Doyle, Brian's father. Reading these essays made me slow down and pay attention to the wonder and awe of the miracle of life; somehow, they have made me a better person.

As much as I love his novels, I may love his short stories/essays even more, for the glimpses of different lives and the wonder and humor with which he embraces his subjects.
