Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

a brilliantly constructed, immensely moving debut novel. * * Kirkus Review * * A remarkable achievement - part adventure tale, part meditation on place and history, wholly engaging. The storytelling is rich and strange in detail and incident, and the language is by turns stark and lush. This is powerful writing. -- Charles Frazier, author of Cold Mountain A novel of exquisite craftsmanship and masterful artistry. . . River Thieves marks the emergence of a powerful, mature talent. -- Jeffrey Lent, author of In the Fall

Reseña del editor:

River Thieves is a beautifully written and compelling novel that breathes life into the pivotal events which shaped relations between the Beothuk Indians of Newfoundland and European settlers. Following a series of expeditions made under the order of the British Crown, the reader witnesses the tragic fallout from these missions as the Beothuk vanish and the web of secrets guarded by the settlers slowly begin to unravel ... Told in elegant , sensual prose this is an enthralling historical novel of great passion and suspense, driven by the extraordinary cast of characters. And with it Michael Crummey establishes himself as one of Canada's most exciting new talents.
