“A story of love, loss, family, choices, consequences, and relationships of all kinds. A beautifully written story that spans over 80 years and 3 generations, it examines the experience of three family members who leave Newfoundland to find work and a better life in New York and those who stayed behind. It explores the decisions each person made and the consequences and ramifications each of those decisions had on all of the other family members for generations. Most importantly, it delves into the definition of home: what is home and where is home? “‘Everyone in my family is obsessed with home,’ Anne tells Brian…”My Aunt Ethel wants to die at home. I have this cousin, Dennis, who’s never been to Newfoundland in his life, and he says he’d like to go home sometime. Home is a place he’s never been. Isn’t that weird?”                                     Review by Pam Rivera Google Books
