A Good House begins in 1949 in Stonebrook, Ontario, home to the Chambers family. The postwar boom and hope for the future color every facet of life: the possibilities seem limitless for Bill, his wife Sylvia, and their three children.

In the fifty years that follow, the possibilities narrow. Sylvia's untimely death marks her family indelibly but in ways only time will reveal. Paul's perfect marriage yields an imperfect child. Daphne unabashedly follows an unconventional path, while Patrick discovers that his happiness requires a series of compromises. Bill confronts the onset of old age less gracefully than anticipated, and throughout, his second wife, Margaret, remains, surprisingly, the family anchor.

This extraordinarily moving and beautifully crafted first novel was a number one bestseller in Canada where it won one of the country's most prestigious literary awards, the Giller Prize, in 1999.

Nearly instant blending
Color: P-Storage Cover Black, Size: Prestige Rechargeable
Wow! That's my impression of this handy gadget. It has a quality feel to it and super easy to understand. I charged it up full and have used it more than a dozen times with no sign of it needing a recharge. My main use is to blend my protein powder into milk and juice in the morning. Let me tell you - it takes about five seconds. Instead of fighting the blend with a spoon for nearly a minute this frother has it done so quickly it's amazing. The powder and fluids are mixed WAY better than with a spoon and in record time. It also makes the drink much smoother and the taste is thick and creamy. It's hard to describe how easily it functions. Oh and clean up? That's a snap. Just dunk it in clear water and turn it on a few seconds. This is one of the handiest tools I've ever added to my kitchen.

Powerful
Color: P-Storage Cover Black, Size: Prestige Rechargeable
The only reason I gave this a 4 star is that I wish it had a slower speed. Have to be careful not to fling liquid everywhere with a smaller cup. It does have power!!

Great Little Gadget
Color: C-Black, Size: Model C Rechargeable
What a fun and easy to use gadget! I use it to foam Zero Sugar Coffeemate creamer for my iced coffee and it works perfectly. I thought the on/off button was on the top but it's on the side. I was concerned that I would unintentionally bump it but I don't. Easy to use, easy to clean and price is reasonable.
