In 1892, critically acclaimed novelist Paul Butler plunges the reader into 19th century St. John's, its light and its shade . . . An obscure servant, Kathleen, yearns for her home in Ireland. A mysterious scientist, Dr. Glenwood, believes he can be the first to bring a new photographic discovery to the world. A stable hand, Tommy Fitzpatrick, battles inner demons as he tries to win Kathleen's heart. These collective struggles will soon erupt to change the fate of an entire city. 1892 combines both lyrical writing and telling detail. It is a novel written by a sure and confident writer in his prime. -- The Chronicle-Herald [1892] is a page turner that will be enjoyed as romance, historical fiction and a chilling gothic tale. -- Atlantic Books Today The unanswered questions that will nag historians forever (like 'Who started the fire?') are answered amid the drama
of a love story caught in tragic circumstances, making for a rich blend of fact and fantasy. -- Downhome [Paul Butler's] writing is lyrical and compelling. -- The Sudbury Star Beautifully written. . . -- book-a-rama Butler's account of the fire's genesis is dramatic, but his descriptions of how people find themselves in old St. John's are persuasive and compelling. -- Resource Links Butler is adept at using historical events in his compelling story about the developing intimacy of two lower-class young people. -- Newfoundland and Labrador Studies
