In the 1920s, Jim, Bert and Rose Evans all move from Newfoundland to Brooklyn, New York, in search of work and a better life, leaving their sister Annie back home in St. John''s. By the Rivers of Brooklyn traces the story of the Evans family across two countries and three generations, exploring the hopes, passions and heartbreaks of those who went away and those who stayed behind. By the Rivers of Brooklyn transforms into fiction the experience of the 75,000 first- and second-generation Newfoundlanders who once lived in Brooklyn, New York - and the experience of Newfoundlanders throughout history who have gone away to find work and prosperity but never stopped dreaming of home.

You won't be able to put it down
by Glenda Savory

It is difficult to say what is best about this book. The story sweeps you along, the characters make you love them, the emotional experiences are true and touching. You will laugh out loud and cry tears for these people and their lives. Trudy Morgan-Cole does all this with her finely tuned sense of language and of voice. I will read it again and again.
