First Canadian Review

I am happy to share my first Amazon Canada book review.  It is lovely to hear that someone who has actually visited PEI found my book interesting and recommends it.

Self-publishing means that I don’t actually have a physical book shop, so it was fun to find this sweet little place recently and it now resides on my desk.  Hopefully, it will inspire some more writing.

Having visited P.E.I. as a tourist, only in the summer time , I can relive my own memories (of Charlottetown, Anne of Green Gables etc.) through Mae's stories of all the places she has visited. Also living in Ontario, we have experienced many Canadian winters and can relate to her winter time expeditions. Most of all, I picked up a lot of historical facts
that I found extremely interesting. Seems like Mae & Mr. Candytuft enjoyed sharing this new chapter in their lives as much as I enjoyed reading about it.

Meet Guest Author, Mae Leveson… by The Story Reading Ape

Hi, my name is Mae Leveson, and I’m an author. This still sounds strange to my ears, as I’ve never actually introduced myself to anyone as a writer but, now that I’m a published author, I can no longer pretend that I’m writing just for myself – that I don’t care if anyone reads my […]

This is delightful reading! Mae takes us on a journey of the heart as she seeks a place called home on Canada's Prince Edward Island. The journal format and Mae's writing style is endering. With each month she takes us along with her, offering us rich observations and experinces with nature and wildlife of the island. She sketches a great sense of place, as well as presenting details of local history. Her days out and about discovering her new home and surroundings are so enjoyable to read. And being an island, surrounded by water and weather, we learn how living with the weather, and being prepared for it, is essential to daily life. Mae takes us through all seasons--from her former fractured, busy city dwelling, to finding renewed purpose and pleasure in life amidst the beautiful nature and slower pace of life on PEI, all along side each month of the year, each month new challenge and discovery. We hope Mae has found her way home! As readers we find ourselves appreciating a place that may be far away from us, but also we find our eyes opened anew to observing and noticing our own place called home.

I hope that it will encourage more readers and look forward to receiving further reviews.
