Maud's House

Maud's House:

Maud Tilley felt as if all her dreams had come true. In the small outport of George’s Cove, she’d met the love of her life. Like her, he didn’t care what people thought. Like her, he was happy to live together without being married. As long as they had each other,that was enough. But, when Ern dies, it seems that nothing will ever be right again. She has to draw on the legendary strength of the Newfoundland woman, to discover that love can last far beyond the grave. This is the story of what happens when everyone tries to force Maud to leave her small and moonlit house.

Praise For Maud's House"..."Gough’s writing is...poignant, spare, with the strength and subtlety of a fine woodcut..." E. Annie Proulx ...it’s clear that the richness of language as it is spoken in Newfoundland is in Gough’s literary blood.” Michael Harris, The Globe and Mail
