An evocative novel about identity, loss, and the enduring bonds of family Known for his acclaimed biographies and award-winning books on the history of the oil industry, Gary May's literary talents shine in Unburdening, his first venture into fiction. In 1975, James O' Malley, a journalist-turned-college professor, returns to his family's Ontario apple farm to grapple with his mother's suicide. As he delves into his family's history, he realizes how little he truly understands about those he loves. Through James's journey, readers uncover the complexities of identity and the enduring bonds of family, transcending blood ties and connecting to the eternal lure of the land. Set against a backdrop of historical events, Unburdening follows the O' Malley family from their origins in Ireland, fleeing to Canada in the mid-nineteenth century. Their story mirrors Canada's development, from pioneering days to wartime struggles, economic turmoil, and national crises.
