McNab - a novel of dramatized history
“Mr. Mulholland said that historical fiction
serves a purpose in giving a reader a broader understanding of why
events happened like they did. Historical fiction is dramatized
history presented through characters, whereas historians interpret
historical facts.” “I would recommend McNab to anyone who
loves a good yarn. Mulholland has crafted a gripping story. His
style draws the reader into both the time and place of McNab, and
into the hearts of the settlers.” “He (Mulholland) points to the enduring legacy of the McNabs, not only in the Ottawa Valley, but across the country. The book takes the reader on a journey into the actual period, looking at history through the eyes of those who lived it.” “A colourful yarn about a colourful character.” “David Mulholland has produced a dramatic narrative based on painstaking research. The tension between Chief McNab and his settlers is very well depicted.” “The novel tells how the settlers struggled for 16 years to free themselves from Chief McNab’s control. The book reproduces several actual documents of the day.” “The novel delves into the psyche and lifestyle of the time.” “David Mulholland has produced a great novel, and has truly achieved his goal in giving us a good read.” “Mulholland captures the essence of the settlers, and tells their story in such a way that it feels like you are there.” “McNab’s piper’s account of life
in the first person gives depth and character to the narrative voice.
For anyone, anywhere - not just in the Ottawa Valley - McNab
is an enjoyable read.” “I found the story of MacGregor, the piper, quite gripping.” |
