Join the McGill Alumni Association of Boston to discuss 'Galore' by Michael Crummey. Galore won the Commonwealth Writers' Prize for Best Book, Caribbean and Canada, and the Canadian Authors' Association Literary Award in 2009. The book was also a finalist for the 2009 Governor General's Literary Award.
Book Summary:
When a whale is beached in a small Newfoundland village, no one expects a man to emerge. But that's exactly what happens, setting in motion a fantastical tale about two families whose fates intertwine over the course of 200 years. In Galore, Michael Crummey recreates Newfoundland's history through the eyes of several generations and lyrically highlights the province's unique culture and mythology. The book is an evocative history lesson about one of the most misunderstood corners of Canada.
