Like many of Richards's books, The Bay of Love and Sorrows is set during the 1970s; the book was in part inspired by his experiences growing up then in New Brunswick. Set in rural New Brunswick, Canada in 1974, the novel follows protagonist Michael Skid, the privileged son of the town judge. After a falling out with his friend Tom Donnerel, Michael befriends Madonna and Silver Brassaurd, a brother and sister who draw him into the orbit of Everette Hutch, a charismatic and violent man who ultimately leads the three youths to commit murder.
