Customer Reviews

A Compelling portrait of love, regret and yearning for the simplicity of certainty

This book is remarkably engaging. John Bemrose follows His first book The Island Walkers with a wonderfully sensitive and insightful story of three people from different worlds and with different perspectives drawn together through love history, friendship and duties that drive them to re-examine their beliefs. The story telling is engaging and the characters are so well drawn that you really do feel you know much more of them than what is written. Every time I open the book it's as though I am transported to this other world. I can smell the pines of the Canadian north. and hear the waves lapping against the dock on the edge of the lake. I highly recomend this book
