I had a hard time relating to this book because my heritage is recent immigrant, Catholic and urban. This book is about people who were early settlers, Lutheran and rural. Lake Wobegon is a fictional place in Minnesota. Mr. Keillor gently pokes fun at traditions and values he and all his neighbors grew up with. Although there are many similarities in our experiences because he is really talking about the human condition, I found myself wondering what it would have been like if my parents and grandparents had come to America generations before.
