She describes a life of backbreaking labour, poverty, and hardship on a pioneer farm in the colonial wilderness. Her sharp observations, satirical character sketches, and moments of despair and terror were a startling contrast to the widely circulated optimistic portrayals of life in British North America, written to entice readers across the Atlantic. A frank and fascinating account of how one woman coped, not only with a new world, but with a new self, this unabridged text continues to justify the international sensation it caused when it was first published in 1852. \u003cb\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e   \u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"PRH","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47717660819594,"sku":"9780735252790","price":22.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0744\/7452\/0714\/files\/BNCImageAPI_3af21523-d841-49cb-a7bd-926172976b33.jpg?v=1771896617","url":"https:\/\/curiosityhousebooks.com\/products\/roughing-it-in-the-bush","provider":"Curiosity House Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
