WINNER OF THE CHARLES TAYLOR PRIZE FOR LITERARY NON-FICTION • GOVERNOR GENERAL'S AWARD FOR LITERARY NONFICTION NOMINEE • AMASSADOR BOOK AWARD NOMINEE
"Incredibly moving, deeply personal and often hilarious." —The Toronto Star
"A prodigiously talented author—Baltimore's Mansion ought to win a wide readership, especially among those of us grasping after the meaning of our own fathers' lives." —The Globe and Mail
"Much more than a memoir—Johnston has used all the fictive techniques he has mastered as a mature literary artist to shape the materials of real life into a work of astonishing beauty and power." —National Post
Baltimore's Mansion introduces us to the Johnstons of Ferryland, a Catholic colony founded by Lord Baltimore in the 1620s on the Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland, and centres on three generations of fathers and sons. Filled with heart-stopping description and a cast of stubborn, acerbic, yet utterly irresistible family members, it is an evocation of a time and a place reminiscent of Wayne Johnston's best fiction.
