Born in Buchans, Newfoundland, Crummey grew up there and in Wabush, Labrador, where he moved with his family in the late 1970s. Their home is a stretch of rocky shore governed by the feral ocean, by a relentless pendulum of abundance and murderous scarcity. In centuries past, a brother and sister are orphaned in an isolated outport cove on Newfoundland's northern coastline. But soon, even that loyalty will be tested.
Muddling through the severe round of the seasons, through years of meagre catches and storms and ravaging illness, it is their fierce loyalty to each other that motivates and sustains them. Still children with only the barest notion of the outside world, they have nothing but the family's boat and the little knowledge passed on haphazardly by their mother and father to keep them. They have one boat to catch fish, one garden to grow vegetables, one set of clothes for all the seasons, and only each other’s company. Their home is a stretch of rocky shore governed by the feral ocean, by a relentless pendulum of abundance and murderous scarcity. On the surface, The Innocentsis a novel about a brother and sister trying to live off the vast emptiness of Newfoundland coast after their parents and infant sister perish from an illness. A brother and sister are orphaned in an isolated cove on Newfoundland's northern coastline.
