This is a beautifully told multi-generational tale of a slice of life in Newfoundland.

It covers the impact of the loss of the cod fisheries, which devastated communities and livelihoods. Parents leave for jobs in the oil patch of Alberta, jetting back and forth across the country as they deal with the shift work. Communities in Newfoundland are decimated and desolate. Families cope with extended absences of family members and traditions die hard among those left behind.

This is a magical, evocative tale of the life of one family sest among those in their tight-knit community.

I highly recommend it.
