Governor General Award-winner Kevin Major is the author of twenty-three books--fiction, literary non-fiction, poetry, and plays. His first novel, Hold Fast, is considered a classic of Canadian young adult fiction, and was adapted into a feature film. As Near To Heaven By Sea: A History of Newfoundland and Labrador was a Canadian bestseller. His work has been translated into several languages, including German, Spanish, Catalan, and Hebrew. One for the Rock, Two for the Tablelands, Three for Trinity, Four for Fogo Island, and Five for Forteau belong to Major's popular series of crime novels. He and his wife live in St. John's. They have two grown sons.
"It's immediately apparent that Major did a lot of research to
write this book. His most casual descriptions are strikingly
authentic and the focus is wide-ranging. Whether standing on the
bridge of the Caribou or peering through the periscope of U-69, the
reader is plunged into the surroundings... Land Beyond the Sea is a
crackling read that invokes both sympathy and empathy for the
people on both sides of the conflict. It's quite an achievement on
Major's part." - Denise Flint - Downhome Magazine - 20200101
"Meticulously researched and seamlessly blended historical fact and
Kevin Major's fiction, Land Beyond the Sea was a great read." -
