Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Silent Inlet traces the lives of four very different characters in Hansen Sound, a fictional small-town on the west coast of Vancouver Island. Amidst storms, mist and rain, they find themselves thrown together, struggling to trust one another. When a violent accident injures a handicapped boy, the tentative relationships that they have established begin to fall apart. Chaos ensues and lives begin to unravel. Harry Farre is a feisty woman in her sixties, who lives primitively on an island in the middle of Hansen Sound. Her daughter, Hannah, is returning to the Sound in the aftermath of a failed relationship. Big Mack Stanley is a First Nations man in his late thirties, beset by the troubles of his upbringing. His orphaned nephew, Lonny, is ten years old, desperate for love and a place to belong. Each of these characters sees life without "seeing" each other, and the story is told in their interweaving voices and points of view. Hesquiaht hereditary chief, Simon Lucas, once said: "You only see us with one eye." This novel brings the west coast to life through a spectrum of perspectives within which the reader experiences the raw physicality of people and place: people who are caught in the sea of turbulence, hardship and brilliance that characterizes the west coast, shaped by its history, First Nations culture, and the forces of Nature.…

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. This is a heart-stopping collection of true stories from the Pacific Coast that build a vivid portrait of life on the continental edge and one womans evolving place within it. Joanna Streetly arrived on the west coast of Vancouver Island when she was nineteen, and soon adapted to the challenges of working on boats of all sorts, guiding multi-day wilderness kayak trips along the BC coast, and living in remote situations often without electricity or running water. From a near-death experience while swimming at night to an enigmatic encounter with a cougar, these stories capture the joys and dangers of living in a wild environment. Streetlys vivid storytelling evokes a sincere respect for nature, both its fragility and its power. Full of unflinching self-examination and a fidelity to the landscape of Vancouver Islands outer coast, these stories reveal the interplay between inner and outer landscapes -- the evolution of a woman uncovering the pleasures and dangers of the wild life.…

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Six years ago, Joanna's Streetly's two stepsons and their boat disappeared into the ocean on an eerily calm night, barely 200 feet from Tofino on the west coast of Vancouver Island, BC. All of Us Hidden begins with poems that inhabit Tla-o-qui-aht traditional territory, the remote summer whaling islet where Streetly lived for several years with her former partner and stepsons. In the aftermath of the boys' disappearance, she returns to the island to document how both she and the island might have changed. Streetly's poetry ripples out beyond location and loss, into a broader investigation of time's capricious shaping and re-shaping of children, parents, Earth and the self.
