Author: Farley Mowat
Stars: 3
Review by: TooManyBooksTooLittleTime
I read this book, suggested on a HCL reading list, because I have been to Newfoundland and loved it. I had no idea that the author, Farley Mowat, was a highly acclaimed Canadian author, and conservationist. I enjoyed the book, since I had traveled all over Newfoundland and parts of Labrador one summer for vacation a few years ago. It was interesting to read about the isolated islands in the 1960's with the history of the island and its people. If you would love to learn about a truly beautiful island, and wonderful, hardworking people, this is your book. They still kill/eat whales, seals and other animals we would never eat here, and the author treads on this carefully, against agreeing with people who kill animals to live, and sometimes for sport. It is a look into another world.
