This novel tells the story of Fabian Vas, a bird artist in a remote Newfoundland village called Witless Bay. Not only is Fabian an artist, but he is also a murderer (this is revealed in the first chapter) and just one odd individual within a cast of eccentric villagers. Norman beautifully captures a sense of place and offers great dialogue, making the novel captivating from page one.
