5.0 out of 5 stars
Even better than the movie,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Glace Bay Miners' Museum: The novel (Paperback)
This excellent, vividly written novel became the movie "Margaret's Museum" (with Helena Bonham Carter). Its twisty plot is both a complete surprise, and somehow inevitable. I fell in love with the blunt, vulnerable Margaret, who tells the story. I'd recommend this book to anybody.

A brilliant Canadian novel,
By Jenny (Toronto, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Glace Bay Miners' Museum: The novel (Paperback)
The main character of this novel, Margaret MacNeil, is an absolutely stunning character. Currie makes it very clear throughout this novel the importance of family to Margaret. Although,living in the Reserve Mines, where you have no choice but to make a living as a miner, presents a difficult environment for Margaret to cope with. The end of this novel, although quite disturbing, is very compelling. I thoroughly enjoyed this novel by Sheldon Currie.
5.0 out of 5 stars
A One-Sitting Wonder,
By
This review is from: The Glace Bay Miners' Museum: The novel (Paperback)
Sheldon Currie has nailed this book, this character, the essense of the highs and lows of life, and the pain of love, and of loss.
I read this book in one sitting. I couldn't put it down. By the end you'll be one with the characters, and the setting will be a place you know, or have known, all to well in your own life. The movie, Margaret's Museum, is also great, and definetely a buyer. If you've ever wanted a book to fill that little space you have in your schedule, the bigger place you have in your heart, this is your book.
