Waskaganish
If you read "Waskaganish," my first novel, if you’re like other readers, you’ll be delightfully surprised, and pleased .
"Waskaganish" is my third book and my first novel – the first published on Amazon as a paperback and an e-book. The other two were hard covers and had much publicity in the media, and are still in demand, one became a Canadian best seller.
For "Waskaganish" I did no publicity, not even a book launch, though it could be fun after COVID. I’ve been busy writing a sequel, which takes place during the time of the coronavirus pandemic.
The 5-star reviews on Amazon are beyond my wildest dreams. They touched my heart. They felt the pulse of the book. I am grateful.
"Waskaganish" is a complex book which all came together like magic – an epic love story, a mystery, of lost and found love, brutality and murder. From the Polish pogroms to southern England, to regions of Quebec affected by the 1980s political unrest, Waskaganish, Montréal and the Eastern Townships we experience the unraveling of the connection between an exquisite blue diamond necklace and the missing 16.25 caret Eagle Diamond – one of the biggest diamonds ever recovered in the continental United States, stolen in 1964 from New York’s Museum of Natural History – and what lies beneath the cratonic rocks of Waskaganish, a small Cree community at the junction of the Rupert River and James Bay – the home of the Hudson Bay Company – and the lives of the Montrealer’s it touched.
One man with deep-rooted connections to Waskaganish was wealthy, ruthless, entrepreneur Robert Steinman. He and a young, geologist, Avrum Wood – the great-grandson of the Polish-Jewish immigrant, Charles Wood, who found the Eagle Diamond in 1876 on his rented farm in Eagle, Wisconsin – had a dream which changed forever the lives of those it touched, including the epic’s protagonist, astonishingly striking, amber-eyed, food and nutrition expert, Hannah Epstein Star, internist Jonathan Star, beguilingly beautiful Cree physician, Rebecca Stone and ultimately actor/director Kurt Garnet.
In it one can identify or empathize with the protagonist, as she struggles to maintain her moral compass and optimism in a society rife with pseudo-science, racism, insatiable greed, deceit, love, lust and loss, and brutality.
In a journey through the boreal forests of Waskaganish, and the genteel urban quilt of the unique Montreal neighbourhoods, the lives of the leading characters emerge, and the novel's complex plot unfolds.
It hope you enjoy "Waskaganish" and look forward to your reviews and comments, which will be much appreciated.
