It's not too late. I've been warned not to buy books here, because the house is full of them. But I extracted a promise from my spouse that if I want to buy there, and I REALLY need a map, he will not whinge :)

I can recommend "The Bishop's Man" by Lynden MacIntyre published last year. It's a disturbing novel set in Cape Breton that deals with sexual abuse by the clergy; it's very well written and a book that is hard to put down.

A very different book from a very different time is "The Clockmaker: The Sayings and Doings of Samuel Slick of Slickville" by the Nova Scotian judge Thomas Chandler Haliburton. It was written in the early 18th century and I think it has been in print ever since.

TVM again

Oops! If Sam Slick had been written in Nova Scotia the early 18th C, it would have been in French. I meant, of course, the early 19th C.

This is a little late to post on here, but I have two romance novels that are set in Nova Scotia.

Two classic Nova Scotian authors not yet mentioned are Thomas Raddall (Hangman's Beach) and Frank Parker Day (Rockbound).

Thomas Raddall has written an assortment of great historical fiction as well as Hangman's beech see: http://www.canadianauthors.net/r/raddall_thomas_h/ for a complete list of his magnificent work

"Anna from Away" by D.R. MacDonald

Thank you; I'll bear them in mind for the next trip
