Like her, he was happy to live together without being married. As long as they had each other, that was enough. But, when Ern dies, it seems that nothing will ever be right again. She has to draw on the legendary strength of the Newfoundland woman, to discover that love can last far beyond the grave. This is the story of what happens when everyone tries to force Maud to leave her small and moonlit house.In the twenty-five years since this novel, the first of The Terra Nova Quartet, was hailed when it first arrived, William Gough has now completed the quartet. All books stand alone, or may be read in the suggested order. In this anniversary edition, it’s time once again to meet the woman who began it all.
