No Great Mischief by Alistair MacLeod
3.0
Looking for something about Nova Scotia to contrast with the reading I had done about Newfoundland, I picked up this title. Not only did it describe the landscape, but it provided a sense of the great Highland brotherhood that settled in Cape Breton generations ago.
Stylistically, I wasn't a fan of the work. There were narrative elements and writing devices used by the author which grated before long. Knowing that the author was an English professor, it seemed as if the work was too crafted, too structured.
