PDF Michael Crummey ´ The Innocents Epub Ë ´ innocents book, The Innocents MOBIThe story of two orphaned siblings fighting for survival on the wild Labrador coast of Newfoundland With the exception of a couple of dramatic set pieces the plot is secondary to the 'extraordinary' relationship that develops between brother and sister I use the word 'extraordinary' here to elude to a theme which is central to the novel but which is best discovered for one's self Michael Crummey writes beautifully of landscape conveying in an economical and yet poetic style the vastness and the drama of the local coastline The cold and isolation demanding a mental fortitude in order to persevere with the mundane slog of daily survival The entire thing is intensely realised

PDF Michael Crummey ´ The Innocents Epub Ë ´ innocents book, The Innocents MOBIThis novel is written with a supernatural attention to detail It's as if Crummey has taken it upon himself to inhabit the interior spaces of the brother and sister that he conjures up from his imagination He inhabits their daily lives He channels them onto the page for us until I could see and feel what these characters see and feel Never mind that the world he imagines for these two is like nowhere I could have imagined on my own I'm there At just this moment I can't remember another novel I've read that so fully imagines the lives of its characters the way Crummey does here The novel is bleak but full of beauty It's a remarkable achievement
