An epic novel following the lives of a Lebanese-Canadian family from Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia during the first half of the 20th century. The story is wide in scope, taking place not only in coastal Canada, but also in Europe during World War I and New York City during the "Roaring 20s." Full of hidden family secrets and mounting tragedies, this is a powerful -- and often darkly humorous -- yarn, written by an award winning playwright and actress.  (CND49, $16.00)
