This was one of my favourite reads last year. The characters were so endearing. But I suggested to it a friend of mine and she abandoned it. Go figure! :)

Annabel is set in Labrador. I'd categorize it as literary fiction.

I just finished reading this. So very very good, but it broke my heart at the same time.

Welcome Joshua. I still haven't decided what I'm going to read for Newfoundland. Thanks for your recommendation.

I am presently reading River Thieves, it is historical fiction set in the early 1800s in Newfoundland.

[Melissa, Chief Bookworm]

I might have to check that out, Laurie. I love historical fiction. Do you like The River Thieves so far?

Hi Melissa, I am enjoying the book. The author really brings the people and the place to life in the book, I am sure the fact that he is also from Newfoundland helps.
