A Chronicle of Magpies

This collection examines the serendipity and spontaneity of history through stories about love, family, and art. Bruce Meyers offers a view that is both personal and panoramic in these heartfelt and surprising stories. The book features the post-WWI novella "A Chronicle of Magpies," which tells the story of one family's struggle to build their own paradise, a home and lakeside resort, in the gothic Canadian wilderness. The engrossing novella is the centerpiece to a rich collection of shorter narratives, which are told with the same keen eye and subtle lyricism.
