Each Man's Son | Hugh MacLennan

2 posts | 3 read | 2 to read

In Each Man’s Son, his fourth novel, Hugh MacLennan returns to his native Cape Breton to present life in a small mining community. Dr. Daniel Ainslie, who ministers to the rough miners, yearns for a son, which he can never have. He comes to love young Alan MacNeil, the son of Mollie MacNeil and her absent husband, Archie, who deserted his family several years before to seek his fortune as a professional fighter. Now Archie returns, bitter and defeated, to wreak tragedy on his community. Originally published in 1951, Each Man’s Son, a stunning account of the rationalistic Ainslie and the animalistic MacNeil, moves inexorably towards its harrowing conclusion. From the Paperback edition.

Great book set in a mining town in Cape Breton. MacLennan grew up in this environment and knows it well. Recommended if you liked his more famous Barometer Rising or want to read books set in the Maritimes.

How weird that What's Bred in the Bone (Cornish Trilogy Part 2) is told partly by daimons, and now my next Canlit book is ALSO talking about daemons.
