Encompassing memoir and history, \u003ci\u003eCod Collapse\u003c\/i\u003e traces a lost way of life, digging into the stories of the author's own family, including her Pop, one of the province's original \"saltwater cowboys,\" a fisher on the southeastern shores of Newfoundland. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis thoughtfully researched and captivating account reveals how Newfoundlanders from many walks of life, and from distinct regions across the island portion of the province, have coped in the aftermath of the largest mass layoff in Canadian history.
