review 1: I saw a film at the St. John's International Film Festival which was, I now realize, loosely based on this novel. I enjoyed the film and sought out the novel. As usual, the book is better than the movie.I found the characters engaging and felt for them in their troubles. For just one family, they encounter a lot of troubles!The particular edition I read needs some editing. I found it annoying to see "pouring" used in place of "poring" and "lead" instead of "led", to name a couple of errors.This is a book worth reading.
review 2: A debut novel by a Cape Breton writer. I read her second novel first, which led me to seek out other books by this excellent author!Lexie Ivy loves her little house in Cape Breton, her big family, and the endless sea that surrounds ... moreher. She wouldn’t trade her life for anything, but at thirty she feels she is missing something. One day Adrian arrives at the small repertory theater where she works.
