The elder statesman of Canadian letters continues to explore the themes of sin, guilt, and self-discovery . . . A masterful effort.-Library Journal Connor Gilmartin's inauspicious, but much beloved, mortal life comes to an untimely end when he discovers his wife in bed with one of his more ludicrous associates, theater critic Randall Allard Going. Death becomes a bit complicated when Gilmartin's out-of-body experience stays an out-of-body experience. Enraged at being so unceremoniously cut down by his wife's lover, Gil vows revenge against the now panic-stricken Going. But first, Gil must spend his afterlife seated next to his killer at a film festival, where he views the exploits of his ancestors from the Revolutionary era to his parents' time, an experience that changes the way he views his life-and death. Mr. Davies is a tremendously enticing storyteller, whether his characters are cajoling in Welsh brogue or portaging a canoe through the northern wilderness, but it's possible to ask now and then just how such and such an incident fits in the master plan of the book. On most occasions, however, the author, as if sensing our restiveness, provides an answer.-The New York Times Davies's depiction of how the descendants of Samuel Gilmartin came to emigrate to British North America convincingly blends gritty humor-including a hilarious Welsh cursing contest-with sympathetic portrayals of his characters.-Kirkus Reviews The unexpected conceit devised by the author of the Deptford trilogy will surprise but likely not disappoint his fans.-Publishers Weekly
