Canada

books by Michael Crummey. Sweetland, for example. "The epic tale of an endangered Newfoundland community and the struggles of one man determined to resist its extinction.
The scarcely populated town of Sweetland clings to the shore of a remote Canadian island. Its slow decline has finally reached a head, with the mainland government offering each islander a generous resettlement package― the only stipulation being that everyone must leave."

Crummey is a terrific writer of historical Canadian fiction. He really gives you a sense of being there.
