Kevin Hardcastle
It has been years since Mara O’Hare has come home to North Simcoe County. But she is forced to return after her father’s death. Arthur O’Hare—the meanest, most vicious man in the townships—laid low, isolated, angry and sullen before he took his own life.
Mara is reunited with her two sisters, Beth and Emma. Soon, the three women are fighting to retain ownership of their home, a farm they have inherited from their father. But Arthur O’Hare’s legacy is not just land. He has also left his daughters an unanticipated inheritance of violence and terror, born out of a long-buried family secret.
Award-winning author Kevin Hardcastle has written a tough, compelling and thrilling novel that lays bare the best and worst of human nature and examines the muddy places in between. County Road Six is an unforgettable family saga about gender and class, rural communities, fathers and daughters, and what we leave behind.
Critic reviews
"Kevin Hardcastle has established himself as an eminent literary voice. . . . This novel advances a new age of literary Canadiana that leaves the city in its dust." —Waubgeshig Rice, author of Moon of the Turning Leaves
"Finally, a sharp atmospheric descendant from the literary world of Winter's Bone . . . not a sentence too many; not a scene that doesn't sing." —Cherie Dimaline, author of The Marrow Thieves and VenCo
"Kevin Hardcastle is one of the best young writers we have in the world. County Road Six is just virtuosically written; it's up there with the likes of Cormac McCarthy and Miriam Toews." —Casey Plett, author of Little Fish and A Dream of a Woman
"In gleaming prose that lovingly renders the toughness and beauty of rural life, County Road Six showcases yet again the power of Kevin Hardcastle's compassionate eye for those people and relationships that many other writers fail to see." —Liz Harmer, author of The Amateurs and Strange Loops
"A triumph of storytelling. . . . Hardcastle's exquisitely rendered prose calls to fans of Eden Robinson and Cormac McCarthy." —Carleigh Baker, author of Bad Endings and Last Woman
"Kevin Hardcastle’s prose is a wonder to behold. Here’s an author who writes with such musicality that he turns even the smallest moment luminous, and with such perfectly observed detail that each scene feels real, lived-in and sharp to the touch." —Nathan Hill, author of Wellness and The Nix
"Kevin Hardcastle carries you into the darkness of both landscape and character in County Road Six, and dares you to look away. There is both economy and beauty in his prose, and both comfort and brutality in this complex story of fathers and daughters and the generational saga of love and commitment. Nothing is easy, and everything is worth fighting for." —Michael Farris Smith, author of Lay Your Armor Down and Desperation Road
