4.0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful view of Newfoundland, February 23, 2001
By 
LyndaM.R. (Houston, TX USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: This Marvellous Terrible Place: Images of Newfoundland and Labrador (Paperback)
I found this book while staying at a B&B in Newfoundland, and it was such a wonderful read that I had to run out and buy a copy to take home with me. With wonderful insights into the people of Newfoundland the authors use powerful images and the words of the Newfoundlanders themselves to tell the stories of the place. Alternately powerful and fun, this book is a must for anyone wishing to understand the lives of the people of Newfoundland and Labrador and their place in history and Canada.

3.0 out of 5 stars Newfoundland and Labrador, January 3, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: This Marvellous Terrible Place: Images of Newfoundland and Labrador (Paperback)
The book is dated (1988), so I bet some things have changed over the past 18 years. I won't know until I visit Newfoundland this summer. Still a good read for anyone interested in the area.
