About

Getting lost in North End Halifax can be an adventure if you know where to look and have an open and inquiring mind. For Steven Laffoley who has already written several entertaining books about Halifax, it's much more than a Sunday stroll.


In Lost in the Right Direction, he begins his quest with this observation:


When I get lost, I don't fuss. You either find your way back or you don't, and so far, I always have, though sometimes I am late for dinner. Not so long ago, I found myself lost in a midlife muddle. Unsure of what to do, I did nothing, until it occurred to me that maybe the best way to find my way home was to do what I do best: get lost.


So, I did.


As the story unfolds, award-winning author Steven Laffoley sets out on an irreverent, thoughtful, and often hilarious journey through Halifax's North End, guided less by maps and clear intentions than by curiosity and interesting tavern menus. What begins as a series of simple walks becomes something richer - a search for meaning in the varied geography and layered stories of a place that has always been busy reinventing itself.

Lost in the Right Direction is a meditation on Halifax's most engaging neighbourhood, the North End, and a reminder that sometimes the best means to find your way back home is to wander, without clear direction, into the heart of where you already are.
