“Open the cover and hold on to your beret, Charlie White’s FATFINGERS is a roller coaster of action, irony, and dark humor that will have you flipping the pages faster than a phonebook in a hurricane.”
–R. Ballister, author of God Does Have A Sense of Humor
Here’s the set-up:
In 1753 the British cleared all the French out of their part of Nova Scotia. Some went to Haiti, some went to the colonies, some ended up in New Orleans. Concubines and slave dealers, torturers and priests populate this timeless novel of heartbreak and loss. Oh, and pirates
What the Reviewers Say
“Etienne is a simple man. What he wants most in life is a profession that is less hard on his hands. His sobriquet, Fatfingers, comes from the damage he does to his digits as a carpenter. Unfortunately, Nova Scotia in 1755 is not a place where the British care much about what an Acadian wants. England, Spain, and France are fighting over large chunks of North America, and if a few settlers die in the process, then so be it. Pretty grim, right? In fact, the story is a romp through an unsettled period that rings truer in this book than it does in the history books.”
