Overview

No Great Mischief is a story of family, bloodlines and loyalty. It is also a story of exile and the ties that bind us, generations later, to the lands from which our ancestors came. In 1779 Calum MacDonald set sail from the Highlands of Scotland with his extended family. The family settled in Cape Breton and grew and spread until it became almost a separate Nova Scotia clan, red-haired and dark-eyed. It is the 1980s by the time our narrator, Alexander MacDonald, tells the story of his family, marveling at how it intersects with history. Heart-rending, universal ironies echo through the generations of MacDonalds -- the many lives lived and the many deaths honored. The Celtic music of Cape Breton and the cadence of the Gaelic language ring throught this book, by turns joyful and sad, but always haunting.
