Canadian literary master Alistair MacLeod has spent 13 years rewriting, editing and perfecting this extraordinary tale of Scottish immigration to Canada. No Great Mischief begins in Scotland in 1745 with the fateful revolt on Culloden Moor, when several clans began their exodus to Cape Breton and the Hebrides.
