Saints of Big Harbour

3.5/5 ( ratings)

"A true grit coming-of-age novel" , Saints of Big Harbour is a funny, brutal, and vivid story about small-town life and the inescapable power of gossip.

Several versions of truth emerge and collide through Guy's eyes and the stories of those who surround him -- his overbearing uncle, a girl idealized by her town, a quietly wise young woman wrestling with demons of her own, his draft-dodger English teacher, and a pair of golden boys trapped in emotional adolescence as well as Big Harbour itself.
