Barometer Rising by Hugh MacLennan

3.0

We read this for my Canadian Literature class. There are three major things in it: nationalism, sexism, and some good old fashion cousin-love. If you don't enjoy reading about any of those things, this is maybe not the book for you. If you think that a book set during WWI in Halifax at the time of the Halifax explosion is going to be action-packed and about either of those events, you're mistaken. Prepare yourself for a lot of introspection, and all of the sexism. But actually. So much.
