Description: "More than a historical memoir, Causeway is like a set of lessons on how to write a memoir. Unsentimental, unpretentious, evocative and written in clear rhythmical prose, this book should give pleasure to everyone." -- The Globe and Mail "Causeway is an honest-to-God writer's memoir." -- Winnipeg Free Press "Full of a sweet longing for the happiness he remembered and the smooth confident flow of Gaelic conversation. . . . As long as the island continues to produce storytellers like MacIntyre, it will never entirely die." -- Montreal Gazette "MacIntyre's novelistic style and the stories of men, dogs, work, mining, liquor, church, politics, and fate are reminiscent of No Great Mischief, by another Cape Bretoner, Alistair MacLeod." -- Quill & Quire "Causeway explores a world which depicts a certain region of Cape Breton as it was 'before Canada joined it.' The book aches with details that are both rational and emotional. . . . MacIntyre is a fine writer." -- Alistair MacLeod, author of No Great Mischief "A sweet and edgy coming-of-age story that reads like a good conversation over many drinks." -- Ann-Marie MacDonald, author of Fall On Your Knees "A touching portrayal of a father and son relationship and the pain of leaving home." -- Laura M. Mac Donald, author of The Curse of the Narrows
