Description
In this hilarious and moving novel, the third in Herb Curtis's critically acclaimed Brennen Siding trilogy, the fabled Miramichi River takes centre stage. Palidin Ramsey travels to Texas to seek his fortune and meets the madcap owner of a sporting goods chain. Meanwhile, Palidin's brother Dryfly follows true love to New York, only to find that he's taken the long route back home.
About the authors
Herb Curtis (b. 1949) has lived all his life in New Brunswick; he moves between Fredericton and the Miramichi, where he guides visiting salmon fishermen. His masterpiece, The Brennan Siding Trilogy (Goose Lane, 1997), is a compilation of his first three novels, The Americans Are Coming (1989, 1999), The Last Tasmanian (1991, 2001) and The Lone Angler (1993). A different version of "The Party" appears in The Last Tasmanian.
