enjoyed reading account of author's family history, good read!
This is the stuff of magic.
Absolutely wonderful stories about Newfoundland. However, the Kindle text was marred by many errors.
Although I have not read "Baltimore's Mansion" yet I really enjoy Wayne Johnston's books. I'd bet anything that he would appreciate if his name was spelled Johnston rather than Johnson.
While true the period of time of "remaining righteous" may be finite, it needn't be necessarily short. In the case of the Johnston Family the third of that generation deals with the consequences to this day. "Baltimore's Mansion" is both true Family History together with the autobiographical experience of the Author. He may not have witnessed all he memorializes, but the feeling you get while reading is that if there is a line between the two it is seamless. And that this is true is due to the Author's insight into the memories of others he experiences as opposed to the memories that are his own.The prose of this book is rich it is thick and dense. I intend that comment in only the most positive manner. There is nothing extraneous as you read, every sentence is important; this book is as long as it needs to be, no more or no less. I always had the impression the Author chose each word or phrase he wrote carefully and with purpose. The writing needs no embellishment it is precise and honest.The book is about change, about change that is often not wanted, about progress that is anything but, rather it is a series of events that strips away a people's identity, the ground their homes are built upon, the jobs they have known for generations, and ultimately the Families themselves.The damage and dislocation that is suffered that is external is magnified by secrets and thought kept hidden for decades that if shared would have changed the lives of these Families. The book is about regret, missed opportunities, and an unwillingness to accept change that goes beyond simply sad to truly painful and destructive.I recently read "No Great Mischief" and while no 2 Authors are alike, I believe if you have read and enjoyed either you will enjoy them both.Whether describing an event that will change the course of a people, or of a young man sweeping away the imprints of horseshoes that do not bear his Father's mark (a Rose), the Author shows with great clarity the similarities and the futility of going against the tide.As to those who were on the "Winning" side as always the Author states it best, "We won, we won and nothing you can say can change that fact, and nothing makes victory sweeter than the enduring bitterness of men like you." The man being referred to here is the Author's Father.Wonderful book.
There is a dramatic nostalgia to this memoir that becomes overbearing by the end but is enticing and rich at the beginning. Johnston recounts the history of Newfoundlands confederation and how powerful an effect it had on his family. What becomes clear in the reading is how powerful (or how imagined) the pull of place can be. Johnston's father and grandfather are very immersed in their location but not just geographically but what it means to them spiritually or physically. And, yet, the grandfather apparently votes against Newfoundland remaining its own country and disappoints his son so powerfully that the son carries this disappointment with him and passes it on the author himself.What I find difficult in these books is the sense that the characters can't move on. Isn't there a moment when people can no longer hold onto that which was or that which they wished were? Apparently not.Baltimore, the title of the book, refers to one of the first settlers to the area who arrived in the 17th century, weathered one winter and fled after most of his group died, largely as a result of the horrific winters. Clearly Newfoundland is not a warm and welcoming place, but that doesn't matter and that's what the author does such a good job conveying."
Any book that can make a reader who hales from the land of pleasant living (i.e., the mid-Atlantic region of the United States) seriously consider spending a winter in Newfoundland is clearly worth reading. Wayne Johnston once again manages to turn what most of us would consider a very dull subject (growing up in Newfoundland) into a minor masterpiece. If you enjoyed "Colony of Unrequited Dreams," you will be equally charmed, intrigued and entranced by "Baltimore's Mansion" but in a more personal -- and, perhaps, more meaningful -- way. I expect that if Mr. Johnston were from the USA, his books would stay at the top of the best seller lists. As it is, he remains a bit of a hidden treasure. Perhaps "Baltimore's Mansion" will help change the situation.
Being from the other side of the confederation with Canada event (my family was pro-confederation), I found Johnson's memoir a real eyeopener to the sense of defeat and angst found in the loss of Newfoundland's precarious nationhood. The political subtext amplifies the family melodrama of loss and defeat. Although a bit too `Irish' for my taste in Newfoundland set stories, the writing is profound and the best in the english language currently being turned out these days. Johnson's family were smiths with iron and his writing is the same; that is, he turns the raw iron of language into something minimal, economical and heavy that carries the weight and experience of generations. Like the anchors, nails, and iron shoes, Johnson's writing will stand the test of time's weathering I'm sure.
