ISLAND...THE COLLECTED STORIES, showcases MacLeod's story collection, including two never before published, all gathered together for the first time.
These sixteen superbly crafted stories, most of them firmly based in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, even if its people stray elsewhere, depict men and women living out their lives against the haunting landscape that surrounds them. Focusing on the complexities and abiding mysteries at the heart of human relationships, MacLeod maps the close bonds and impassable chasms that lie between man and woman, parent and child, and invokes memory and myth to celebrate the continuity of the generations, even in the midst of unremitting change.
