No Great Mischief by Alistair MacLeod

5.0

I’ve been meaning to read this novel for years now, ever since I read (and loved) one of his short stories, “The Boat”, in an undergrad English class. I’ve also been trying to read more books by Canadian authors.

It was quietly moving; a beautiful book about family and history. It’s narrative structure was interesting. Would recommend, especially if you have any ties to Atlantic Canada or Scotland.
