Add a CommentThis book is so good I have read it a few times. One of my favourite books. Wonderfully written.
A family history that recounts the ties between father and sons; and brothers. The great grandfather immigrates to Cape Breton with his twelve children (losing his wife on the voyage). They come and settle in to Cape Breton. This book provides a history of family, and tales of family ties, that span several generations. It is interesting the ties that keep the family together - no matter what. A well written, memorable book.
Wonderful book! I have been reading this year's Giller Prize short-listed books and felt frustrated. I picked this up by chance and this is exactly what I felt I was missing! I loved the storytelling, the relation of the immigrant experience, the love of family.
An enjoyable read that captures the immigrant experience in Canada.
One of my favourite novels.
Good read from the Maritimes
