A Marvelous book
I posted the following on the NL Caravan thread, but know it deserves a bigger audience. Ginny bought this for me on Father's Day.
Winter in Tilting by Robert Mellin
This is a wonderful book that will add to your view of the world. It goes along way to explaining the Newfoundland culture, of growing an understanding of what made/makes NL special.
I am only a little way into the book, I'm typically a rocket reader, but this one makes me stop and question, it well should be a slow read, just like a visit to Newfoundland.
I'm naturally a slow traveler, Newfoundland deserves slow travel, it deserves taking time to see what's here. 'See' I've come to realize is simply not grasping an image, but a deeper view and understanding what makes up the image.
It's like going to Mt. Rushmore and seeing the result, seeing the result without understanding the process,without imagining the effort, the creativity misses the images you should have.
