The community of Burnside has faced struggles throughout its life- time, such as “a baptism by fire” in the early twentieth century. “Following a devastating forest fire in the area in 1912, the settlements of Squid Tickle and Holletts Cove became known, collectively, as Burnside. Today, with a population close to 200, it is one of seven communities on the Eastport Peninsula,” Flanker Press explained. ’Tis a Wonderful Time to Be Alive: Life in a Newfoundland Outport delves into two centuries of Burnside’s history, touching on the lives of those who lived there. Consider this novel “a guided tour of (Oldford’s) hometown and the cultural foundations upon which Burnside was built.” Flanker Press is a bright spark in the NL publishing scene.
