Island: The Collected Stories of Alistair MacLeod | 
Cape Breton, part of Nova Scotia, is not typically what comes to mind for #laislabonita, although it is very beautiful in a cold, rocky, rugged, soaring kind of way.
The stories in this collection are set there. MacLeod left as a young man, but Cape Breton haunted his imagination. I'm not a "Caper" but these stories capture life in Atlantic Canada. They amazed me when I read them as an undergrad. I still think about them.

merelybookish @JacqMac Oh cool! Do you go back to visit ever? And yeah, I'd loved to hear your thoughts! 5y
JacqMac @merelybookish I go back every year or two to visit family. I miss the ocean the most. 5y
merelybookish @JacqMac Oh me too! I'm hoping to move back in the next few years. 5y
