The Wake: The Deadly Legacy of a Newfoundland Tsunami
An incredible true story of destruction and survival that follows the events of November 18, 1929, when a tsunami struck Newfoundland’s Burin Peninsula killing twenty-eight people and leaving hundreds more homeless or destitute . . .
Written in MacIntyre's trademark style, The Wake is an incredible true story of destruction and survival in Newfoundland that makes an excellent choice for fans of Erik Larson's Isaac's Storm and Dead Wake.
“MacIntyre’s novelistic style and the stories of men, dogs, work, mining, liquor, church, politics, and fate are reminiscent of No Great Mischief, by another Cape Bretoner, Alistair MacLeod.” -- Quill & Quire
