Résumé
Linden MacIntyre remembers the day construction started on the Canso Causeway, which would link his Cape Breton village with the mainland. With its grand promises of jobs and riches and progress, the building of the causeway also became a personal… icon for MacIntyre, the road that would bring him closer to the father who was always away. His memoir is a coming-of-age story, a portrait of a vanishing way of life, and a reflection on fathers and sons. Some descriptions of violence and some strong language. 2006.
