Description

Set on the East Coast, and focusing on sixty-nine year old Jonas, this novel reflects the title character’s energy, rage and humour as he looks upon his world, past and present, and is filled with memorable characters, adventures, and a pervading rugged gentleness.

This crically-acclaimed novel is an excellent choice for Canadian Studies and courses that investigate themes of maturity and old age.
