Lauchlin Of The Bad Heart (2007)

About book Lauchlin Of The Bad Heart (2007)

This unnerving, lyrical tale of suspense --about an aging ex-boxer in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, forced to quit the ring when he developed a heart condition --lilts with the slow,repetitive rhythms of Islanders' speech, and delves deep into Scottish Gaelic ancestral folklore as well as that of the Mi'kmaq - the first nations' tribe that once lived in the thick mountainous forest of the area. MacDonald, a master storyteller, ascribes metaphorical power to the forest that resonates like a deep tremor of unpredictability in the emotional life of the protagonist, Lauclin, the raw, primal beauty of the Cape Breton coast and the depths of the human heart. A gripping read!
