Essays on Sir Andrew Macphail's "Masterpiece"

THE MASTER'S WIFE is a world-class book rooted in a particular Island locality. The Sir Andrew Macphail Homestead - encompassing
the house, buildings, fields, woodlands and river
of the original family farm - seems to me a fine "parish" where "place attachments" can be both practised and preached.
