Deptfordská trilogieSérie

Tato trilogie se ponořuje do hlubin lidské duše a zkoumá provázanost osudů v malém kanadském městě. Sledujeme cesty několika postav napříč desetiletími, od dětství až po stáří, a odhalujeme složité vztahy a nečekané důsledky zdánlivě nevinných činů. Série mistrně propojuje osobní dramata s historickými událostmi a přemýšlí o povaze paměti, náhody a smyslu života. Jedná se o literárně bohaté dílo, které zkoumá hranice mezi realitou, mýtem a tajemnem.

    Fifth Business: "Ramsay is a man twice born, a man who has returned from the hell of the battle-grave at Passchendaele in World War I decorated with the Victoria Cross and destined to be caught in a no man's land where memory, history, and myth collide. As Ramsay tells his story, it begins to seem that from boyhood, he has exerted a perhaps mystical, perhaps pernicious, influence on those around him"--Publisher website (May 2007)
