My dad recommended this, about a single father moving up to Newfoundland with his two little girls to start a new life as a small-town journalist. I’m a little more than half-way, and it’s a very quiet charmer - just like the main character.

“When I first read this, I wasn’t prepared for how delighted I would be. I was profoundly moved by the humanity of this novel and the plights of these Newfoundlanders; I also laughed, A LOT. This is one to return to.”
