Worthy: A Novel
Sin. Secrets. Shame. Solitude. "Worthy" explores these themes via the life of a 15-year-old rape victim in World War II outport Newfoundland while this island was still a dominion of Great Britain and while U-boats circled like hawks in the nearby North Atlantic ocean. "Worthy" is a "detailed and convincing portrait of a conflicted Newfoundland family in the 1940s, set in a rugged, salty and storm-lashed setting that comes clearly to the senses," wrote one reviewer. "Events unfold with satisfying suspense and a good grasp of how and when to add fresh complications to the mix."
