In this no-holds barred look at the province, writers captivate and capture the true essence of Nova Scotia. From these personal accounts of life here, the writers reveal the great joys and small pleasures but also the schisms, foibles, and missed opportunities of a life made in Nova Scotia. By revealing themselves, they make the province larger, more welcoming, more interesting, and certainly more colourful. This book is proof positive that life really is a search for home.

Description

In this no-holds barred look at the province, writers and personalities captivate and capture the true essence of Nova Scotia. It includes Chris Benjamin’s short story, “Home”, about Bayarmaa, an accountant from Mongolia working as a live-in nanny to make ends meet. But it is only one in a series of low-cost, less-than-ideal living arrangements as she tries to prepare for an important equivalency test. As Bayarmaa reflects, “There is everything and nothing to explain.” This collection also includes work from George Elliott Clarke, Sheldon Currie, Daniel Paul, Silver Donald Cameron, Lesley Choyce, Elaine Mccluskey, Tareq Hadhad, Jonathan Torrens, Carol Bruneau, Theresa Meuse, Ian Colford, Janet Barkhouse, Janice Landry, Alice Burdick, and more.

    A fabulously diverse collection of perspectives on Canada’s best province. I loved the variety of styles and genres and the overall quality of writing was excellent. The writers were well chosen.
