"In The Bay of Love and Sorrows, one of the world's finest web-spinners crafts a superb and riveting yarn guaranteed to satisfy readers craving an unforgettable fictional feast." -- The Toronto Star
"Thoroughly engrossing... the eloquent spareness of the prose and the speed with which events unfold is breathtaking." -- The Globe and Mail
“His novels will make you cry, not for the sadness of it all... not for the pain of loss, but for the beauty of it all, the tragic and comic beauty.” -- Sheldon Currie, author of The Glace Bay Miners’ Museum (filmed as Margaret’s Museum)
“The deft, understated artistry with which Richards conveys his vision is exhilarating....” -- Maclean’s
“How can one not feel anything but immense gratitude for such powerful work of the literary imagination.” -- Eric Tretheway, The Fiddlehead
“It’s his voice, really, which mesmerizes. Few writers have so distinct an ululation, so hypnotic a cry, so intoxicating a lament. When David Adams Richards writes, narration fuses with incantation....” -- Vancouver Sun
“I predict that a century from now readers will discover in Richards’ novels and short stories the same heartbreaking treasures we find in the novels of Thomas Hardy.” -- Kitchener-Waterloo Record
"His voice is one of the most powerful and necessary to be found in Canadian fiction today.” -- Ottawa Citizen
David Adams Richards was born in Newcastle, New Brunswick, in 1950. He has published ten acclaimed novels, including the award-winning Miramichi trilogy -- Nights Below Station Street, winner of the 1988 Governor General’s Award; Evening Snow Will Bring Such Peace (1990), winner of the Canadian Authors Association Award; and For Those Who Hunt the Wounded Down (1993), winner of the Thomas Raddall Award -- Hope in the Desperate Hour (1996), The Bay of Love and Sorrows (1998), and, most recently, Mercy Among the Children (2000), co-winner of the prestigious Giller Prize. In 1993, Richards received the Canada-Australia Prize.
Richards has also published three non-fiction books, most recently the Governor General’s Award-winning fishing memoir Lines on the Water (1998), and has written Gemini Award-winning screenplays for the CBC-TV adaptations of his novels For Those Who Hunt the Wounded Down and Nights Below Station Street. “Small Gifts,” his original screenplay for CBC-TV, won a Gemini Award and the New York International Film Festival Award for Best Script.
Richards now lives in Toronto with his wife, Peggy, and their two sons.
