From the Publisher
Multi-award-winning author Guy Vanderhaeghe''s eagerly awaited new
novel is a dazzling follow up to his bestselling The
Englishman''s Boy and The Last Crossing
(a Canada Reads winner!).
A Good Man culminates what could be thought of as
a trilogy of books set in the late nineteenth-century Canadian and
American West, and it is a masterpiece. Vanderhaeghe skilfully
weaves a rich tapestry of history with the turns of fortune of his
most vividly and compellingly drawn cast of characters yet.
Vanderhaeghe entwines breathtaking, intriguing, and richly
described narratives that contain a compelling love story, a tale
of revenge and violence, a spectacular battle scene, the story of
an incident in Welsely''s past that threatens his relationship with
Ada, and much, much more. While raising moral questions, this novel
weaves the historical with the personal and stands as
Vanderhaeghe''s most accomplished and brilliant novel to date.
