Fiction, Canadian
Winner of the Governor General’s Award
The Englishmans Boy brilliantly links together Hollywood in the 1920s with one of the bloodiest, most brutal events of the nineteenth-century Canadian West the Cypress Hills Massacre. Vanderhaeghes rendering of the stark, dramatic beauty of the western landscape and of Hollywood in its most extravagant era with its visionaries, celebrities, and dreamers provides vivid background for scenes of action, adventure, and intrigue. Richly textured, evocative of time and place, this is an unforgettable novel about power, greed, and the pull of dreams that has at its centre the haunting story of a young drifter the Englishmans boy whose fate, ultimately, is a tragic one.
