The superbly crafted stories collected in Alistair MacLeod's depict men and women acting out their "own peculiar mortality" against the haunting landscape of Cape Breton Island. In a voice at once elegiac and life-affirming, MacLeod describes a vital present inhabited by the unquiet spirits of a Highland past, invoking memory and myth to celebrate the continuity of the generations even in the midst of unremitting change. His second collection, confirms MacLeod's international reputation as a storyteller of rare talent and inspiration.
