What Others Say
“From the beginning of the book to its very end, there is a fact that I, as reader, found myself resisting. That is, that Robert Sproule actually was hanged. D’Eon made him come alive, made him human, so I began to root for him to stay alive, even though parts of his character weren’t especially likeable. I even convinced myself, until the end, that his sentence might be commuted."
Ralph Friesen, author of Dad, God and Me
“Big Ledge is Brian d’Eon’s very imaginative take on Robert Sproule, American prospector, and how he was swindled out of his claim and eventually hanged for murder. D’Eon tells this rather tragic story with magical realism-like elan.”
Ross Klatte, author of Leaving the Farm
“A wild romp through the Kootenay mountains where men risked their lives to stake their claims for glory, love, and riches. Big Ledge will leave the reader dazzled by d’Eon’s poetic whimsy and the scope of his creative wit!
Diana Morita Cole, author of Sideways: Memoir of a Misfit
"Brian Deon's voice brims with refreshing vitality and ease. Big Ledge is a witty, amicable and highly original novel."
Eileen Pearkes, author of The Glass Seed
