Customer Reviews

Unusually moving

The utter bizarre-ness of the characters and their choices makes this book both human and engulfing. The relationships are multi-dimensional and real. The descriptions of nature are satisfying. And the story line keeps you fully involved until the final page. I highly recommend this book!

Amazing Journey in Adult Life

The coastal images are beautiful. Development between mother and son is touching. I would suggest this book Kevin Chong's "Broque-a-Nova" for a truly canadian west coast experience. Thank you for writing such a rich book. I read about 30-40 novels a year and this one is memorable.
