Although not nearly as well recieved as "Fall On Your Knees", it is a mistake to dismiss this book as an also ran. Each time I reread it I find more to love, her characters carry with them joy and heartbreak and bestow them on the reader in often surprising ways. At times a mystery and a piece of Canadian historical fiction, "The way the crow flies" is really about the love and pain and tragedies (and indeed triumphs) each family carries with them and how they make us who we are. Haunting, chilling, and sadly beautiful but never afraid to laugh with our frailties, MacDonald proves here again she knows how to tell a cracker of a story.
