Described as Newfoundland's answer to Frank McCourt, M.T. Dohaney's To Scatter Stones is available once again. Long out of print, the highly anticipated To Scatter Stones was first published in 1992, the second novel in Dohaney's celebrated Corrigan Women trilogy.
In this novel, Tess Corrigan, newly divorced, has moved from Montreal to St. John's as manager of a travel agency. On a visit to her birthplace, a tiny outport called the Cove, she agrees to stand as the Liberal candidate in the forthcoming provincial election. Little by little, she becomes wrapped up in the lives of her childhood friends and neighbours. But the return to her roots is also difficult.
Critically acclaimed novelist M. T. Dohaney was born in Newfoundland and currently lives in Fredericton, NB. After a career of teaching at the University of New Brunswick, she now devotes her time to writing. In addition to her five novels, which include the bestselling The Corrigan Women, she has published a work of non-fiction as well as numerous short stories and articles.
