"Doctor Luke of the Labrador" by Norman Duncan is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set against the backdrop of the rugged and barren landscape of Labrador, focusing on the themes of love, resilience, and the bond between a mother and child. The opening chapters introduce the main character, Davy, a young boy, and his close relationship with his mother and father, highlighting the unique challenges of life in this remote and harsh environment. At the start of the novel, the narrative paints a vivid picture of Davy's home and the surrounding harbour, setting the stage for a life defined by the merciless sea and the beauty of familial love. Davy spends time exploring the landscape, enjoying adventures with his mother, and listening to the tales of local fishermen. As the story unfolds, a sense of unease emerges regarding his mother’s health, leading to a tense decision to call for a doctor amidst growing worries about her wellbeing. The dynamics between Davy, his loving but troubled mother, and the colorful characters of the community, including the eccentric Skipper Tommy, establish a poignant tone that draws readers into the challenges of love and the natural world in this isolated part of the world.
