The scarcely filled town of Sweetland rests on the shoreline of a remote control Canadian island. Its sluggish decline finally extends to a head when the mainland federal government offers each islander a generous resettlement deal - the sole stipulation being that everyone must leave. Fierce and enigmatic Moses Sweetland, whose ancestors founded the community, is the only person to refuse. As he watches his neighbors give up the island, he recalls the town's robust history and its eccentric solid of character types. Evoking The Shipping and delivery Media, Michael Crummey - one of Canada's finest novelists - conjures up the mythical, sublime world of Sweetland's history amid a storm-battered panorama haunted by local lore. As with his critically acclaimed novel Galore, Crummey masterfully weaves jointly past and present, creating in Sweetland a spectacular portrait of 1 man's battle to make it through as his environment vanishes around him.
