Named one of CBC Books' 100 Books That Make You Proud To Be Canadian

"Galore blows [River Thieves and The Wreckage] out of the water. . . . Crummey's prose is flawless. He has a way with the colloquial that escapes many writers, an ability to make the idiosyncrasies of local speech an asset in creating an image in the reader's mind. . . . Galore succeeds brilliantly. It's a book that will live in the minds of readers long after they've turned the final page. . . . Michael Crummey is without a doubt one of Canada's finest writers. I won't thrust the mantle of the voice of Newfoundland on him, as he may well in the future write about other parts of the world, and I will be happy, as a reader, to follow him there. . . . The Newfoundland that exists in my imagination--the one that may not be real and if it ever was real likely doesn't exist today-- smells and tastes and sounds like Galore." --The Globe and Mail

Reseña del editor:

An intricate family saga and love story spanning two centuries, Galore is a portrait of the improbable medieval world that was rural Newfoundland, a place almost too harrowing and extravagant to be real. Remote and isolated,
exposed to savage extremes of climate and fate, the people of Paradise Deep persist in a realm where the line between the everyday and the otherworldly is impossible to distinguish.
Propelled by the disputes and alliances, grievances and trade-offs that bind the Sellers and Devine families through generations, Galore is alive with singular characters, and an uncommon insight into the complexities of human nature.
