A great roamance that makes you wish you were Canadian

Years ago I was assigned this book in my Canadian Studies course in college. I've re-read it several times since. It's a beautiful love story that spans several generations, where the land is a character in its own right. I like the introduction: "You will not find the Channel Shore, so named or in exact geography, on any map or chart. But there is a province of Nova Scotia. Two provinces, perhaps. A land of hills and fields and woods and moving water. And the image of that land, sensuous with the sound of seas and voices, in those who live or have lived there: a country of the mind, the remembering blood. If it is necessary to locate the Shore, consider these twin lands: and take the edge of any county, on the coast of either one."- Charles Bruce
