Potent' New Yorker, Books of the Year   In a remote Newfoundland port settlement, ruthless company man Abe Strapp is set to secure his dominance over the shore and its rich resources by marrying the daughter of a rival merchant - until the Widow Caines stands up in church and throws the wedding and Abe's plans into chaos.    As the bitter feud between these two competitors - each determined to ruin the person they despise most - spirals further into vendetta and violence, the locals too are forced to take sides, with devastating consequences.    A compulsive, exuberant and uncompromising historical adventure to equal Deadwood or The North Water, The Adversary is a wildly entertaining evocation of power, grievance and retribution.","brand":"Book Grocer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47978130210970,"sku":"9781805228585","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0558\/1625\/7690\/files\/9781805228585-us-300.jpg?v=1778038943","url":"https:\/\/castlebooks.com.au\/products\/9781805228585-the-adversary-winner-of-the-dublin-literary-award","provider":"Castlebooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
