Glen Argan: Novel reveals dangers of an insular world Glen Argan: Novel reveals dangers of an insular world By Glen Argan July 16, 2021
Some may take Michael Crummey’s brilliant 2019 novel
The Innocents as a piece of nostalgia for a lost way of life in Newfoundland’s outports. But
The Innocents offers insights much greater than the nostalgic pacifier Make Newfoundland Great Again. It depicts an unrelenting struggle for survival by two children left orphaned when their parents and baby sister die within a matter of months.
Instead of moving to the closest village, Evered and Ada Best decide to stick it out in the lonely cove which is the only place they have ever known.

They are as isolated as isolated can be.
