Summary

It's a long and winding road out of Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, and many of its inhabitants never really get away, held by ties of memory and blood. Innis Corbett finds himself back there, aged 19, deported from Boston to the isolated Gaelic-speaking community where he was born.

Cape Breton Road by D R Macdonald

Innis Corbett is living in exile, deported from America for joyriding and theft. He arrives in Cape Breton Novia Scotia, to live with his uncle, Starr, with no money, no transport, in fact nothing but a handful of marijuana seeds which he intends to use to escape from the strange, harsh landscape.
D. R. MacDonald was born on Boularderie Island, Cape Breton. He has worked as a deckhand, a coalpasser, a teacher at a Hampstead prep school, and has taught for many years at Stanford University, California
