Description
Harry Bruce's family has lived in Nova Scotia since the late eighteenth century. The family history is one of incessant wanderings abroad and constant return. Seventeen years ago, Harry went back to discover his heritage, and now lives in the house where his father was born. He finds himself among a tough, quirky and resilient people, in a beautiful but unforgiving land.
