Each Man's Son cover

The works of a seminal Canadian writer, available again

Features the works of a seminal Canadian writer.Dan Ainslie, a brilliant doctor working with the miners of his native Cape Breton Island, is forty-two and still deeply in love with his wife. Longing for the son he can never have, he comes to love the young Alan MacNeil, whose father deserted him and his mother several years before. Alan's father's return brings tragedy to those around him.

"What is distinctive about Each Man's Son is its warmth and intimacy ... Expertly planned and executed, it is the most human of his books." The Globe and Mail "Each Man's Son has many of the qualities that we have come to admire in MacLennan's work. It has a clear and, at times, eloquent prose style; it has many individual scenes that are sharply and sympathetically projected; and it gives constant evidence of a lively and flexible mind." The University of Toronto Quarterly
