Inside

<p>Fourteen years after being wrongfully convicted of a murder, Mister Myrden is pardoned and released from prison. Stepping back into the world, he feels overwhelmed and disorientated on the outside.When he returns to his old neighbourhood, a street where violence lurks behind practically every door, he finds himself out of place and ambivalent to his wife, who is living in another man's house, to his friends, who want both to celebrate and to provoke further violence, and to the one million dollars compensation he has received from the government. What Myrden wants is his daughter, now married to an abusive man, and his beloved granddaughter out of that neighbourhood.</p>

Named in a moment of anger, raised to endure the tragedy of a people, Blackstrap Hawco was born with little more than a body and spirit that refuse to give up, and the menacing strength of pride. It has always been this way for the Hawco's of Newfoundland, but as the end of the twentieth century nears, the family's bloodlines have grown tainted and confused. Their story - a dazzling swirl of voices and legends spanning poverty, riches, violence and disaster - may be all they have left. But a story this haunting, this powerful, might just be enough to save them all.
