URL856 Online reading group guide ISBN:  0771055684 9780771055713 (trade pbk.) 0771055714 (trade pbk.) Alternate title:  Island Description:  v, 434 p. Summary:  "A powerful collection of short stories set on Canada's Eastern shore, where the traditions and Gaelic language of transplanted Scots continue in a harsh new world. All of these affecting, elegiac tales focus on the strong ties of loving kin, particularly the link between fathers and sons. Fathers share the experience of work with their sons, and boys puzzle over family events and tragedies and learn to be men in the close-knit communities. Sadly, as times change, fathers lose their sons, who become educated men and leave the land and sea for professions in the city. MacLeod's characters are deeply touching and memorable, and their simple lives are rich with loyalty and affection for their families and way of life. The sumptuous language, which immerses the reader in this stunning but unrelenting land, begs to be read aloud."--Library Journal. Genre:  Short stories, Canadian. Canadian fiction. Short stories.
