Description
Slow, beautiful stories crafted with enormous skill and precision, these tales explore the complexities and mysteries of the human heart. Set against the unforgiving landscape of Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, they delve into the unbreakable bonds and unbridgeable chasms between people. Steeped in memory and myth, washed in the brine and blood of the long battle with the land and the sea, these stories celebrate a passionate engagement with the natural world. They reflect deep change and stand securely outside of fashion, while still conveying a great openness and generosity. This collection brings together all Alistair MacLeod's short fiction, including two previously uncollected stories, offering a profound achievement from one of the world's finest storytellers. With its largeness of feeling, intellect, and vision, this book invites readers to immerse themselves in its masterful storytelling.
