Opis

Ottawa in the 70s is a developing city, ripe for the taking. Two men, from different ends of society, see the opportunities - Jerry McGuinty, plasterer-turned-builder, a simple, self-made man, and Simon Struthers, whose inherited wealth and position cannot fill the hollowness inside.

Recenzje

An extraordinary novel... A beautiful tragedy and a series of painful, yet oddly exquisite surprises... Some Great Thing promises to be not just the fiction debut of the year, but also its highlight John Burnside Scotsman
