A portrait of the improbable medieval world that was rural Newfoundland. Remote and isolated, exposed to savage extremes of climate and fate, the people of Paradise Deep persist in a realm where the line between the everyday and the otherworldly is impossible to distinguish. The action is propelled by the disputes and alliances, grievances and trade-offs that bind the Sellers and Devine families through the generations. Descriptions of sex, some descriptions of violence, and strong language. 2009.
