Product Description

The authors have not only captured the unique flavor of the people but have recorded hours of conversations as their subjects reminisced about life, work and the changes that have washed over the island since Confederation.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful view of Newfoundland, Feb 23 2001

LyndaM.R. (Houston, TX USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: This Marvellous Terrible Place: Images of Newfoundland and Labrador (Paperback)

I found this book while staying at a B&B in Newfoundland, and it was such a wonderful read that I had to run out and buy a copy to take home with me. With wonderful insights into the people of Newfoundland the authors use powerful images and the words of the Newfoundlanders themselves to tell the stories of the place. Alternately powerful and fun, this book is a must for anyone wishing to understand the lives of the people of Newfoundland and Labrador and their place in history and Canada.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Marvellous Gift, Nov 5 2011

P. Johnson (Grand Falls-Windsor, NL, Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: This Marvellous Terrible Place: Images of Newfoundland and Labrador (Paperback)

I have purchased four of these now - one for myself to show tourists when I drive cross-Newfoundland and Labrador tours and three for gifts. The recipients really enjoy the beautiful photos and commentary and will leave it out on the coffee table for others to enjoy instead of putting it away in a cupboard or on a shelf full of other books.
I will buy more, no doubt, for gifts.

3.0 out of 5 stars Ok but not a tool for travellers, Aug 7 2011

Jean-Daniel Gagne "JDGagne dot com" (Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: This Marvellous Terrible Place: Images of Newfoundland and Labrador (Paperback)

Good book to know about a certain part of the population in Newfoundland. But this book won't be useful for travellers to know what to see.

The photographs in this book are far from good.
