I‘m feeling home sick for Nova Scotia, and although this book is dark and difficult to stomach, some of the places are familiar, and my friend who lives in Halifax bought it for me 😊 #NovaScotia #truecrime

My first time reading David Adams Richards, and apparently I started with the last book in a trilogy? 🤷♀️ It didn't seem to detract from the story. It was good, with an interesting and compelling voice. Not the book for people who like plot oriented stories, but a good character study. That said, I'm glad it wasn't any longer as it is fairly bleak and depressing.
pickWhat a great piece of history! It took me a lot longer than anticipated to read because life happens, but it was so fun to read a book set in my home province. 😊
It's been a minute since I've picked this book up! It's been a weird summer/fall for me, and I've struggled to get back into reading. Proud to say I actually allowed myself the time to sit down and read both a chapter of this and a textbook. I'll be back into it all soon!

pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Yay for the #ReadCanada Challenge for finally getting me to read this 2000 Giller Prize winner. What an incredible read. A gripping, heartbreaking story of a man who vows to never harm another person and the cascading effect this has on both those who love and those who hate him. The hard scrabble, rural #NewBrunswick setting seems very accurate and quite like where my husband grew up in Nova Scotia - the characters so real I think ⤵️
“Terrieux lived in a small apartment on the fourth floor of a rooming house in the south end of Saint John, New Brunswick.”
