Customer Reviews

This book is well written with and intriguing narrative.

John Steffler is a writer with very poetic prose and a wonderful sense of physical and emotional scenery. This novel, about the Afterlife of explorer, George Cartwright, is in it's own category, and it is the beginning of a new tradition of writers. The narrative is engaging and the scenery beautifully set on Newfoundland and Labrador. I highly recommend this novel for it's intensity and depth.
