Staff Pick
A fantastic tale of a family's history going back hundreds of years, from Scotland to Canada. MacLeod writes wonderfully with great humor. I bought my copy at Massy Books in Vancouver, B.C., after I asked for great Canadian authors. They gave me this and they were right! Recommended By Jeffrey J., Powells.com

This novel weaves together the story of a Scottish man who sets sail with his wife and 12 children for Cape Breton in 1779 and the tale of his descendant, who struggles with family loyalty 200 years later on the same bleak landscape.
