An intricate family saga and love story spanning two centuries, Galore is a portrait of the improbable medieval world that was rural Newfoundland, a place almost too harrowing and extravagant to be real. Remote and isolated,
exposed to savage extremes of climate and fate, the people of Paradise Deep persist in a realm where the line between the everyday and the otherworldly is impossible to distinguish.
     Propelled by the disputes and alliances, grievances and trade-offs that bind the Sellers and Devine families through generations, Galore is alive with singular characters, and an uncommon insight into the complexities of human nature.

Named one of CBC Books' 100 Books That Make You Proud To Be Canadian

"Galore blows [River Thieves and The Wreckage] out of the water. . . . Crummey's prose is flawless. He has a way with the colloquial that escapes many writers, an ability to make the idiosyncrasies of local speech an asset in creating an image in the reader's mind. . . . Galore succeeds brilliantly. It's a book that will live in the minds of readers long after they've turned the final page. . . . Michael Crummey is without a doubt one of Canada's finest writers. I won't thrust the mantle of the voice of Newfoundland on him, as he may well in the future write about other parts of the world, and I will be happy, as a reader, to follow him there. . . . The Newfoundland that exists in my imagination--the one that may not be real and if it ever was real likely doesn't exist today-- smells and tastes and sounds like Galore." —The Globe and Mail
