The Big Why by Michael Winter
Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century Newfoundland, this novel delves into the life of a renowned American artist who relocates to the rugged Canadian landscape in search of inspiration and solace. As he grapples with the harsh realities of his new environment, he becomes entangled in the lives of the local inhabitants, each with their own struggles and dreams. Through vivid prose and rich character development, the story explores themes of identity, belonging, and the relentless pursuit of meaning in a world that often seems indifferent to individual desires.
