Maud's House

In the more than twenty-five years since this novel was hailed when it first arrived, William Gough has completed "The Terra Nova Quartet," where all books stand alone, or may be read in the suggested order. In Gull Pond Books' anniversary edition, (see KINDLE edition-- ASIN: B004OR1JIC ) it's time once again to meet the woman who began it all.Praise for ...Maud's House"Maud's House"...is a literary compliment paid to a people whose richest bounty, next to the sea, is the gift of language. It is also a detailed snapshot of a lost era, lovingly developed in the darkroom of the writer's memory. ...it's clear that the richness of language as it is spoken in Newfoundland is in Gough's literary blood."  -  Michael Harris, The Globe and Mail"A good novel does something which happens only rarely in our day-to-day perceptions; It sets down what can happen in an instant of time... "Maud's House" is a wonderful book, a treat to read, and one of the best books I've read this year, period..."-  Peter Gard, The Evening Telegram"Poetic Language and a style so filmic that every scene has dimension and reality, unfolding its drama on a small stage-like terrain. There's pulse to this story, a low thunder of blood relation, expectations, habits, travail and decency."  -  Linda Spalding ('Who Named The Knife')  Canadian Forum
