Items related to Gaff Topsails
GAFF TOPSAILS tells of an Irish Catholic community on Canada's Atlantic coast. It is set over a single summer's day in 1948, yet in the breadth of its imaginative sweep it encompasses the events, both great and small, since the founding of the village in the fifteenth century. Exquisitely written, it is a sharp and moving portrait of six individuals whose experience resonates far beyond the landscape into which they were born.

Synopsis:
Set in an Irish Catholic parish on the coast of Newfoundland, most of the events in this text take place on 24 June 1948 on the feast of St John the Baptist, the bringer of light commemorated with bonfires ignited on the headland. But it is also Midsummer's Day.
