It’s very gossipy, evident which gulf island it is, also evident who the people are. (My mother lives on this island. No one is happy with the author because she published this book, and is now a recluse. Lol.) It has wonderful imagery. Sometimes I feel like the imagery would only make sense to someone born and raised here in BC. But it’s beautifully written, in the way she describes nature, but that’s about it. She is a bit of a Karen/old conservative white woman in the way she writes about some of the people.

I found this book both interesting and relatable. I live on Vancouver Island so I could identify with the stories.
