The Second Season of Jonas MacPherson is the fantastic story of reclusive Jonas, a sixty-nine-year-old, recently widowed Eastern Shore Nova Scotian whose life is interwoven with the lives of a remarkable cast of characters. Murial Cree and the itinerant mulatto Baptist preacher; the single-minded fisherman John Kincaid; the mystical Joe Allen Joe, the last surviving area Micmac; Jonas' disappeared father, who solos the Atlantic in a stolen German aircraft. Against the backdrop of the rugged shore and the ever-present sea, Lesley Choyce weaves a dramatic and engaging tale of a man with the energy, rage, and humour of a teenager. Jonas is a charming, cantankerous old person who hasn't quite "lost it".
