The fortunate brother / by Morrissey, Donna,1956-author.;
"Once dubbed "our Thomas Hardy" by Alastair MacLeod, Morrissey delivers a powerful novel about a Newfoundland family coping with a murder on their doorstep and the loss of a son. In The Fortunate Brother, beloved East Coast storyteller Donna Morrissey completes her trilogy of the Now family, Newfoundland fisherfolk first uprooted from the outport and then devastated by the loss of a son working on an Alberta oil rig. This novel focuses on Kyle, who is still mourning his dead older brother, Chris. But soon the murder and drowning of a local bully, Clar Gillard, proves more than distracting as the police cordon off the Now house. The victim's blood was found on the family's pier, and suspicion falls first on Clar's alienated wife, then in the Now family. Behind the turmoil is the quieter but no less intense drama of the aftermath of Chris's death. Father Sylvanus Now drowns his sorrow in a bottle, and mother Addie is facing breast cancer. Tension exists between Kyle and Sylvie Now, unresolved as long as Kyle fails to confront his anger over his sister's role in getting Chris a job on the oil rig. It's not all sorrow and darkness. Morrissey's trademark humour lightens the tone, and there is the Newfoundland patois that takes cursing to new flamboyant levels. A cast of memorable characters surrounds the Now family, some intriguing, some comical, but all finely drawn and fully realized. As the mystery of who killed Clar Gillard unfolds, other deeper secrets are revealed. Wise in the ways of the heart, The Fortunate Brother is both a whodunnit and a moving family drama from a unique writer."--

Small game hunting at the local coward gun club / by Coles, Megan,author.;
"February in Newfoundland is the longest month of the year. Another blizzard is threatening to tear a strip off downtown St. John's, while inside The Hazel restaurant a storm of sex, betrayal, addiction, and hurt is breaking. Iris, a young hostess from 'round the bay, is forced to pull a double despite resolving to avoid the charming chef and his wealthy restaurateur wife. Just tables over, Damian, a hungover and self-loathing server, is trying to navigate a potential punch-up with a pair of lit customers who remain oblivious to the rising temperature in the dining room. Olive, a young Indigenous woman far from home, watches it all unfurl from the fast and frozen street. It is through Olive, largely unnoticed by the others, that we glimpse the truth behind the scathing lies and unrelenting abuse, and it is her resilience that proves most enduring in the dead of this winter's tale. By turns biting, funny, poetic, and heartbreaking, Megan Coles' debut novel rips into the inner lives of a wicked cast of characters, building towards a climax that will shred perceptions and force a reckoning. This is blistering Newfoundland Gothic for the twenty-first century, a wholly original, bracing, and timely portrait of a place in the throes of enormous change, where two women confront the traumas of their past in an attempt to overcome the present and pick up the future."--
