Michael Crummey, St. John's (Newfoundland and Labrador), Galore.
(Doubleday Canada; distributed by Random House of Canada) (ISBN 978-0-385-66314-4)

Michael Crummey's Galore is a gorgeous and mysterious whale of a book – part multi-generational love story, part riff on the Bible, and part tall tale. Spanning several generations in a remote Newfoundland outport, this story is bursting with fantastical events, colourful characters and delicious dialogue. An unforgettable journey.
