    Read This Book! 5

    3 years ago

    Beautifully written novel about life in early Newfoundland. The characters are completely brought to life so that you agonize with them and share in their heartbreaks and triumphs. You feel a part of the community and don't want to leave it when it ends - so continue on the Waiting For Time which adds to this wonderful narrative. Brilliant!

I think Canadians could learn a lot about Newfoundlanders if they read this book! I'm now halfway through the sequel. read more

Three nights of staying up till 3 am was definitely… read more
