Itty Bitty Book Review: "Light Lifting"


"Light Lifting" by Alexander MacLeod

These are pretty good straight forward honest stories about ordinary people and I enjoyed them. I guess my only concern is that they were so much like his father's stories in style and subject matter...well, not the coal miners and fishermen of the stories in "Island" by Alistair MacLeod but kind of the same idea. Reading the stories in "Island" brought me to tears. The ones by his son didn't have quite the same impact.
