“Darcy Rhyno’s stories evoke the rich history of place in a way that makes you care about it and want to know more. More than this, he snaps the reader awake by laying bare the bones of a character’s life. It is this ability to see what’s out there, and offer it back to us, unflinchingly and compellingly, that drives Rhyno’s stories home.” Anne Simpson, author of Canterbury Beach “Darcy Rhyno’s stories eloquently evoke the experience of growing up within the narrow confines of a South Shore fishing village, where the only broad horizons are those of the eastern sea. Yet his characters manage to survive, to reach out to rebel, and even to grow. Spare and clean, these are impressively truthful stories.” — Silver Donald Cameron
