«No Great Mischief» is the historical fiction novel by Alistair MacLeod, published by McClelland & Stewart in paperback (304 pages, in English).
Alexander MacDonald recalls the heroic stories of his clan: lumberjacks, miners and adventurers marked by exile. The narrative begins with the patriarch who left the Scottish Highlands in 1779 to settle in Nova Scotia and follows the brothers who, generations later, carry that legacy in the mines. A family saga about loyalty, blood ties and the identity of Scottish immigrants in Canada.
Winner of the International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award and the Trillium Book Award.
Recommended for book clubs and for readers of literary fiction and family sagas.
Alistair MacLeod was a Canadian novelist, short story writer and academic. His powerful and moving stories vividly evoke the beauty of Cape Breton Island's rugged landscape and the resilient character of many of its inhabitants, the descendants of Scottish immigrants, who are haunted by ancestral memories and who struggle to reconcile the past and the present. MacLeod has been praised for his verbal precision, his lyric intensity and his use of simple, direct language that seems rooted in an oral tradition.
