1. No Great Mischief by Alistair MacLeod
The novel delves into the complexities of family bonds, identity, and the enduring impact of heritage through the story of the MacDonald clan, whose roots trace back to 18th-century Scotland. As the protagonist reflects on his life, from his childhood in Cape Breton Island to the present, he grapples with the weight of his ancestry and the tragedies that have befallen his family. The narrative weaves together past and present, exploring how the characters' Scottish legacy shapes their experiences in the harsh landscape of Canada, and how the refrain "All of us are better when we're loved" captures the essence of their interconnectedness and resilience.
