Characters in Canada you have to care about ...
Moving beautifully between the 30's and the 50s, this story has a depth and breadth that one might not anticipate when reading the brief story description. We hear about the stoicism of parents, of angst and hopes of boys as they grow into men and the impact of World World II on this community. In an almost hypnotic way, Paul Hecht's voice and narration talents brings the individuals to life drawing you in like a fish on a line. The tale evolves and at the end, after heart-breaking tragedy, times of gentle humour and poignant tenderness, you are left satisfyingly content with the balance of it all.

Outstanding
I listen to no end of audiobooks but rarely leave reviews. I have to make an exception for this wonderful book. It may not look that captivating but it’s quiet story slowly builds into something that climbs inside you and was literally hard to end as I felt i didn’t want to let the characters go. Those messy strange relationships that exist in real life are played out so well. I found myself burning with anger at moved to tears the next. Hopefully Crow Lake will be added to Audible soon!

Wonderful!
The story, performance and the whole “colour” of this book is well worth investing your time. Don’t hesitate to get it. I chose it on recommendation of Graham Norton on one of the book club programs. Now I am a big fan of this writer.

A Tale of Two Brothers
This is a beautifully written story with a wonderful sense of place. The description of farming life in northern Canada is vivid and engaging as the backdrop to the narrative around the brothers. The characters come alive and the story holds your attention to the last word. A great read.

Stays with you for days
Astonishing book. Assured, fascinating characters and narrative. After I finished it I would find myself thinking of little morsels of description days later. Can’t recommend it highly enough.
