Arbutus Manor

By James Darren

Book Overview

Escape with a dynamic group of young adults that meet at a Vancouver West End room and board house named Arbutus Manor. Follow Matt the "lovable scoundrel", Mina the beautiful runaway bride, Carol the physically challenged woman with a zest for life and Jordie the handsome cowboy as they experience fun, frolic and life's challenges in the summer of 1985. Minor characters are colourful and as interesting as the main players. "Quixotic wisdom" pours forth from Elsie the kitchen overseer. Another Arbutus Manor tenant named Pedro is a Psychiatric Outpatient that contributes his philosophy to the mix in a fatherly fashion. Canadian author James Darren explores themes of substance use, anxiety, grief, mental illness, communication, sexual freedom, romance, friendship, natural attraction and self-improvement.

Explicit sex scenes and mature stories abound with satisfying plots and twists that will captivate the reader to the very end and beyond.
