The Danger Tree : Memory, War and the Search for the Family's Past

Macfarlane tells the stories of his ancestors in Newfoundland in a vivid style, often using the point of view of the small boy he was when he first heard them, and including the larger-than-life embellishments of a child's imagination. Through this family's history we experience the hardships of the early 20th century in this remote province, whether caused by illness, nature, or WWI. Annotation c.
