Barometer Rising is a novel covering the Halifax explosion in detail, but it is more than that. It is also a bird's eye view of a country which is under pressure to develop and change its identity as it evolves into the future. The post colonial landscape and the blending of old Canadian society and new after the explosion makes this novel a must read.
