Island: Collected Stories by Alistair MacLeod

5.0

All of his stories are well told and have a depth that other books should envy. My only problem is that the subject matter never changes. Always with the forlorn family on the windswept cliff. He's knows Nova Scotia so well, but it's a shame he never really sets foot outside the province, and so his stories all sort of run together after a while and start to remind you of Kate Beaton's criticism of Maritime literature.
