Summers in Squid Tickle : a Newfoundland odyssey
by Robert Finch
Offering a portrait of the Newfoundland character and culture, Summers in Squid Tickle explores how three generations of the village have grappled with the changes of the past century--from the rise and collapse of commercial cod fishing, and the migration of young people away from the outport, to the distant hope for tourism and new industries to sustain a disappearing way of life. Even as the fish in Squid Tickle's waters vanish, Finch sketches the enduring relationship of a village with the sea--for food, work, leisure, and a rich community life--in the midst of an unforgiving but stunning landscape.
