About This Item
NCL, Toronto, 1987. 2nd printing in this edition. Condition: Very good minus, light edge wear, sun shadow, price sticker on rear cover.
In spare, allusive prose, Sheila Watson charts the destiny of a small community living in the British Columbia interior. Here among the hills of Cariboo country, men and women are caught upon the double hook of existence, unaware that the flight from danger and search for glory are both part of the same journey.
Using vivid imagery, and expertly wielding the symbols of water, earth, and fire, Watson tells a tale in which both cruelty and kindness, betrayal and faith, shape a pattern of enduring human significance.
