Newfoundland

"Quite a tasty treat, replete with anecdotes from the author's childhood and lots of culinary history and Newfoundland foodways." —Atlantic Books Today

In the vein of Erik Larson's Isaac's Storm and Dead Wake comes an incredible true story of destruction and survival in Newfoundland by one of Canada's best-known writers

One man, one dog, a grand adventure across the Newfoundland wilderness. In April 2017, Justin Barbour and his Cape Shore water dog, Saku, arrived in Robinsons, on the Rock's west coast, where they began a quest to experience the province's woods and waters first-hand. A late winter lingers as they push over the Long Range Mountains to the interior of the island, where they hope thawed lakes and rivers will allow them to continue by inflatable raft.
