Well-written, I don't think I was in the right frame of mind for it at this time. I'll probably pick it up again later.

Wow. Just wow. I thought it would be fun to read this after I visited Newfoundland this past summer. I really wish I'd read it BEFORE I went on that trip. What a moving story. Well worth the time.

More than the average American ever thought there was to know about Newfoundland! A rich, well-written and detailed story of the life of a historical figure, Joe Smallwood, and his eventual rise to political power. The author went on to write a pseudo-sequel centering on the life of a wonderful secondary character from this book named Sheilagh Fielding, called Custodian of Paradise, which I enjoyed even more than this book.
