Description
Set in rural and urban Newfoundland, this novel is alive with its landscape and language. In Keziah Donovan, award-winning writer Robin McGrath has created an unforgettable story-teller with a voice so authentic and distinctive that it compels the reader to sit and listen, and rings in the ear long after the book is put down.

Editorial Review
Writers of quality often come from the fringes, and places on the fringes can became centres of literary excellence. The Ireland of Yeats, Synge, and Joyce is one example, as is the American South of Faulkner and Eudora Welty. After reading Robin McGrath’s Donovan’s Station, I am beginning to wonder if Newfoundland is headed for similar glory.
