Northshire Bookstore Review(s)

Reviewed By... Karen Frank

In this lovingly detailed book, Robert Finch allows us multi-faceted views of Newfoundland's maritime culture, which is now without a fishing industry. The flavor of the language and music come from the English, Scots and Irish immigrants and the harsh life has bred a very quirky yet resilient population. The original Paleo-Eskimo inhabitants called Beothuks left barely a trace. This collection of stories and essays is particularly fascinating when it focuses on the linguistic changes that have become the local dialect.
