À propos de cet audio
Sprawling and intimate, stark and fantastical, Galore is a novel about the power of stories to shape and sustain us. This is Michael Crummey’s most ambitious and accomplished work to date.
An intricate family saga and love story spanning two centuries, Galore is a portrait of the improbable medieval world that was rural Newfoundland, a place almost too harrowing and extravagant to be real. Remote and isolated, exposed to savage extremes of climate and fate, the people of Paradise Deep persist in a realm where the line between the everyday and the otherworldly is impossible to distinguish.
Propelled by the disputes and alliances, grievances and trade-offs that bind the Sellers and Devine families through generations, Galore is alive with singular characters, and an uncommon insight into the complexities of human nature.

Strange and rambling but oddly enjoyable
this won't be everyone's cup of tea, or almost wasn't mine... but not for lack of interest. I kept listening, almost compelled to, despite not having any idea where it was going, what would happen, why I still was listening, or how it would end. if you like riddles that you won't necessarily find the answer two and descriptions of a strange place, almost so foreign it could be another planet, perfectly mastered accents that transport you there and a lot of time to kill while doing something else, this is absolutely for you. I have zero regrets buying it, nor listening to it... but somehow, if I had known more about the book ahead of time, I wouldn't have bought it. that being said, I will not be retaining to it because I will likely listen to it again far in the future when I've forgotten about it and wonder what it was about again. certainly a strange, uncomfortable, yet oddly disturbing journey.
