A young artist confesses to a shocking murder that rocks his remote coastal village, in the first novel of the author's acclaimed Canadian trilogy.
A National Book Award Finalist
Newfoundland, 1911. Fabian Vas is a bird artist: He draws and paints the birds of his small hometown, Witless Bay. In the first paragraph of his tale Fabian reveals that he has murdered the village lighthouse keeper, Botho August. Later, he confesses who and what drove him to his crime—a measured, profoundly engrossing story of passion, betrayal, guilt, and redemption between men and women.
