Reviews
A rollicking, knee-slapping Nova Scotia tale that has the mark of a legendary Bluenose storyteller, while adding a contemporary twist that will keep you wide-eyed and entertained through the most harrowing nor-easter. - Lesley Choyce, author of In The Kingdom of Cheese There Are No Heroes The funniest Maritime book since Anne of Green Gables. Move over, Lucy! - Bob Kerr, writer, This Hour Has 22 Minutes, Still Standing Total fun from start to finish; you will keep reading well into the night. I already can't wait for the next one! - Jonathan Whitelaw, author of the Bingo Hall Detectives series Invoking familiar place names and provincial icons like the Bluenose, Pottie spins a hilarious yarn like a seasoned storyteller. Vernon Oickle, author of the 'Crows' seriesA glorious blend of historical fiction, absurdist comedy, and full-throttle maritime mayhem. Pottie weaves together a caper so riotous and fast-paced that I found myself laughing out loud at least once per page. The tone is sharp, the dialogue crackles and the storytelling somehow straddles multiple time periods while feeling hilariously contemporary. If you love books that mix high-stakes adventure with low-stakes decision-making by teenagers, if you enjoy stories where small-town legends get out of hand, or if you simply need a reason to believe in the sheer power of fiddle-driven anarchy-The Great Lunenburglary is the book is for you. - Jeff Biederman, Award-winning author of Life with Derek, Spun Out and Radio Free Roscoe Not particularly accurate about 1920s radio, but totally accurate about Lockeport, NS (boooo!). - Prof. Kenn Scott, author of On Our Wavelength: broadcasting history from a Canadian perspective This winning Maritime caper is enough to make a Vancouver boy like me think maybe I've spent a lifetime on the wrong coast. Like good taffy, this one's bright, colourful, full of salt water and guaranteed to stick with you."" - Charlie Demers, CBC's The Debaters; author of Property Values
Author Information
Bryn Pottie grew up in rural Nova Scotia, then moved to Toronto to become a big hotshot writer. After bumbling around the Canadian entertainment industry for about 15 years, he moved back to the South Shore. Reconnecting with his roots taught him to truly appreciate the beautiful, magical, and inspirational place that is Nova Scotia. 'The Great Lunenburglary' is his first novel, and a love letter to his home.
