Summary
Newfoundlanders have a language all their own, visitors are treated with hospitality though still referred to as 'stranger', and one Newfoundland town is still a department of France, and its residents use the language, food and money of the home country while driving about on John Deere tractors rescued from a 1950s ship wreck. Nature writer Finch presents his impressions of Canada's most remote island, one that is harsh - and quirky. Some descriptions of violence and some strong language
