The Channel Shore

by Charles Bruce

Four young people are bound together by fate and the events of 1919 in this timeless Canadian Novel.

Selected for Nova Scotia's 150 Books of Influence!

Charles Bruce's classic novel tells the story of the people of 'the shore', a small fictional rural community along the Eastern Shore of Nova Scotia which closely resembles Bruce's childhood home on Chedabucto Bay. He weaves a moving and well-grounded account of rural life &;#8212; the opportunities, relationships and conflicts in the community in the aftermath of the First World War.
