(Excuse the last 2 mistake postings!)

(It's okay, that's what joeclones are for, deleting extra postings.:-)

Two I read a few years ago and still remember well:

The Bird Artist by Howard Norman and Medicine River by Thomas King. (and other books by these writers).

I recently read and really liked Anne Hebert's novel, In the Shadow of the Wind.

I'm currently reading another fine book, No Great Mischief, by Alistair MacLeod. Among other things, this book has Gaelic song lyrics (with translations), and occasional scenes with Cape Breton and French Canadian fiddlers. This is not of course, the main reason to read this book, but does add to the pleasure of it. This is the first work I've read by this writer, who is from Cape Breton, and known for his short stories. I'm looking forward to reading these as well.
