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.

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).
