Cursed! Blood of the Donnellys

Winter's here in full force so it's time to curl up with a good book. 



Cursed! Blood of the Donnellys is a novel based on the true story of the Donnelly family. If you haven't already read about the Donnelly-Culbert connection, click here

Cursed! is written by Canadian author, Keith Ross Leckie (published by Douglas and McIntyre, 2019) It's a fictional account inspired by the lives of the Donnellys who once lived in Biddulph Township near Lucan, Ontario. Occasionally details including names, dates, events and locations have been changed or invented for the sake of the narrative. 

“What I wanted to do was show the Donnellys as individuals,” said Leckie. “Usually they’re portrayed as a gang of thugs, and they’re not individualized.”
