I loved this book; not quite as much as I loved the initial book in the trilogy, Sylvanus Now, but it came close. The language is so rich that I wanted to book a flight to Newfoundland just to hear more of it. I feel I know the characters so well, and it was such a pleasure to revisit them. Sylvanus is one of my all-favorite characters; I feel quite emotionally invested in his life. In this book, he is lost in his grief for Chris, his first-born son, and has turned to alcohol. All members of his family are suffering Chris' loss in their own way. The story centres on Kyle, the youngest child. His grief is acute and he's trying to find his way. Donna Morrissey is a master storyteller. The ending of this book is absolutely perfect.
