![]() ![]() ![]() Initially working as a scientist for the DFO on a mission to Newfoundland from her home in Ottawa, to document the endless bounty of the Northern cod fishery, but shocked into discovering the opposite- that the stocks are exhausted from overfishing- documented by her young lab assistant in a report which he publishes without permission, and which leads to the death of the fishery. She encounters many close & distant relatives. This is a bittersweet novel which continues the story of the families of Random Passage, through the eyes of now centenarian Mary Bundle until her death, and through those of Lavinia Andrews in the 1980s-known as Lav & much later as Vinnie when she returns to her roots in a now abandoned & uninhabited Cape Random & environs, having been inspired by the journal kept by the original Lavinia Andrews-her remote ancestor-& added to by Mary Bundle dictating to her daughter. ![]()
