No Great Mischief by Alistair MacLeod
4.0
To say that "No Great Mischief" is a book where a fictional dentist hailing from Cape Breton, Nova Scotia tells stories about his family history, would be true, but would nowhere a description that would do this book justice.
Alistair MacLeod's renowned novel is about stories and storytelling. It's about history, the power of family, cultural roots, and how society shifted before the turn of the century.
If, like I was, you're interested in reading more Canadian literature, I would recommend "No Great Mischief" as a good place to start!
