Come from Away Summary

Come from Away by David Macfarlane

A combination of travel book, history and autobiography. This is the story of David Macfarlane and his family if Grand Falls, Newfoundland. Such luminaries as Sir Humfrey Gilbert (who founded Newfoundland in 1583), Captain Kidd, Lord Northcliffe and, above all, the Goodyears - Macfarlane's own ancestors - connect in the book and their story mirrors that of the history of Newfoundland itself, Britain's oldest colony until independence in 1949.
