description: Sometimes hilarious, sometimes bittersweet but mostly pure romantic fun, Oh Susannah is the story of a woman learning to love again. Her teacher? Gabriel Desjarlais, the swarthy berry farmer from across the river. His method? Timing; he's always there when she needs him. His means? Anything at his disposal, be it chopping wood, showering her with berries or rescuing her from bears. This is a man with a mission and the only one who doesn't know it is Susannah. Set in the heart of Manitoba's cottage country where solace seekers, farmers and untamed wilderness all converge, Oh Susannah is bursting with life, both through its unabashed celebration of Southern Manitoba and through its delightful cast of supporting characters who bring richness to the story without derailing it. But surpassing even this is Gabriel Desjarlais, whose character has been so romantically crafted that he has readers berating Susannah for her stubbornness, demanding to know where they can find a man his equal and longing for a sequel.
