For all their differences, each is brought together by a soft-spoken man, referred to only as 'the Driver, ' who travels up and down the coast each season, delivering books to areas not served by libraries and listening closely to the villager's tales and to their woes. This summer tour is bound to be different than all the rest. The Driver has made friends with a traveling band of musicians, jugglers, artists, and acrobats who decide to come along for a ride that the Driver has privately decided will be his last. Jacques Poulin's compassionate prose delves into the hidden pains of aging and loss without losing sight of the tremendous joy that can be found in making the world a little more livable for other people"--Amazon.com 650 0 $a Books and reading $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Interpersonal relations $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Books and reading. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00836454 650 7 $a Interpersonal relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00977397 651 0 $a QueÌbec (Province) $v Fiction. 651 7 $a QueÌbec. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01207316 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Road fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01922530 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Road fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Romans de la route. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000000394 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117012946.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8A6BE066664511EDB99D19AA23ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
