Letters from an Immigrant Teenager, Letters from Varpu In Canada to Kaisa in Finland 1963-1965

New Condition

Author Varpu Lindström has had a successful career in Canada as a professor and prominent immigration scholar, but her arrival in the country in 1963, as a teenager who spoke no English, was difficult. Letters from an Immigrant Teenager: Letters from Varpu in Canada to Kaisa in Finland 1963-1965 presents the unedited letters she wrote to a friend back home about her experiences as a new Finnish immigrant to Canada. The original Finnish letters and English translation are presented side by side. Letters from an Immigrant Teenager takes you back to the 60s to explore the youth immigrant experience, while also offering language learners the opportunity to study the informal Finnish of the letters.
