Most Flanker Press publications tend to be boring drivel. Not so in
this case. Decent plot and character development in a novel based
on real events in late 1950s rural Newfoundland. I wasn't born
until a few years later, but I grew up only eighty or so miles away
and the depictions of the town, the times and the people ring true
to me. Reading the book, I could really hear the characters as they
spoke; the dialogue was real and true to place and time. The
characters felt very real, like people I have known.
Slow starting, but ultimately an enjoyable read. I recommend the
book to anyone with an interest in fact-based fiction or in
mid-20th-century Newfoundland.
