The cod industry was the lifeblood of the hardy folk of Newfoundland but the fish are now gone through overfishing, changing climate and new rules for fishing the few fish that remain have practically destroyed a society. Yet the people continue to push forward and survive as they always have looking for new ways to support themselves.
The photos are in black and white which adds to the bleakness of the situation and yet also adds a certain drama that would not be there in color. This is a book that I pick up and page through at odd times for the scenery is breathtaking even when the story is so heartbreaking. ( )
