An intricate family saga & love story spanning two centuries, ” Galore” is a portrait of the improbable medieval world that was rural Newfoundl&, a place almost too harrowing & extravagant to be real. Remote & isolated, exposed to savage extremes of climate & fate, the people of Paradise Deep persist in a realm where the line between the everyday & the otherworldly is impossible to distinguish. Propelled by the disputes & alliances, grievances & trade-offs that bind the Sellers & Devine families through generations, ” Galore” is alive with singular characters, & an uncommon insight into the complexities of human nature. Sprawling & intimate, stark & fantastical, ” Galore” is a novel about the power of stories to shape & sustain us. This is Michael Crummey`s most ambitious & accomplished work to date.
