Description
Fiction. In the beginning a bull-god begets Donal Keneally, and a giant is born amongst neolithic standing stones on an Irish hilltop. The legendary Keneally brings an entire Irish village to Canada, founding a utopian society, the Revelations Colony of Truth, amid the forests of Vancouver Island. Almost a century later, the gorgeous Maggie Kyle steps out of the bush, to reinvent herself in the run-down former colony, only to find herself surrounded by a group of misfits. The whole of Vancouver Island and perhaps the entire country attend a rural wedding whose extravagance propels everyday life into the extraordinary epic world of modern myth. This classic novel is magic realism at its best.
