Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

Sprawling and intimate, stark and fantastical, "Galore" is a novel about the power of stories to shape and sustain us. This is Michael Crummey's most ambitious and accomplished work to date. 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.
