This compelling volume of tales and prose poems contains a broad range of characters. There is the slow-witted girl who has lost her mother and now has only the cow named Fatty for a friend; the hard-bitten captain of a schooner in recoil from the ways of his alcoholic father; the child born premature, swaddled in olive oil-soaked linen, placed in a pan and incubated in an oven. And so on, twenty-eight vignettes in all, all tightly written and highly evocative of outport Newfoundland before Confederation. Funny, tragic, and just.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nico Rogers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48278413574395,"sku":"9781894078825","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/9781894078825.jpg?v=1772487901","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/the-fetch-9781894078825","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
