Mr B's review
Tom lives in Bear Lake, a small island community in 1970s Canada, and falls for the girl (almost) next door. Our protagonist is bright eyed and stands for the possibility of a different tomorrow, if only he can make it out unscathed from a town on the edge. A weather-worn, rustic slice-of-life novel that will transport you worlds away. – Laura K.
Description
It’s 1970s Canada. The small island community of Bear Lake is awash with rumours of layoffs and wildcat strikes at the mill. But for young Tom, nothing is more important than hanging out with his best friend, Cormic, except perhaps catching a glimpse of Sasha Dovonovitch, the foreman’s daughter.
When a tragic accident occurs at the mill, the whole community unites – but in a small town, pointed fingers and hushed gossip can only stir further trouble…
