The acclaimed author of Sylvanus Now continues her rural Newfoundland family saga with this award-winning, international bestselling novel.
Life for Kyle Now and his siblings was never easy in the Canadian fishery village where they grew up. But with adulthood come both freedom and regret. Kyle certainly regrets urging his brother Chris to go west—only for him to find work, and then his death, on an oil rig. Now death appears to be haunting the family: Kyle's mother Addie receives a troubling diagnosis, and his father Sylvanus has yet to give up drinking. With his sister Sylvie adrift somewhere in the world, Kyle would seem to be the fortunate one... until the body of a local thug washes up on the family wharf.
The third novel in Donna Morrissey's Now family saga, The Fortunate Brother is a dark, atmospheric novel about the aftermath of a murder in a claustrophobic rural community in Newfoundland. Compassionate and wise, beautiful and brutal, it is the story of a family and a community in turmoil that confirms Donna Morrissey's place as one of Canada's foremost storytellers.
Winner of the 2017 Arthur Ellis Awards for Excellence in Canadian Crime Writing, Best Novel
Winner of the 2017 Thomas Raddall Atlantic Fiction Award
