Vancouver by David Cruise, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

A GLOBE 100 Best Book of the YearIn the grand tradition of Michener's Alaska and Rutherford's Sarum, bestselling authors David Cruise and Alison Griffiths have captured the essence of one of Canada's richest settings. Beginning in the dying era of the last Ice Age and spanning thousands of years, Vancouver starts with the story of the last survivor of a Siberian people and moves through history in a dynamic tapestry. Fascinating characters come to life, including a Russian cartographer, a Scottish trapper, a Chinese peasant boy and a young woman from the desperate streets of Vancouver's downtown eastside. All share a powerful attraction to this unique, storied place. An absorbing historical chronicle, Vancouver is a tale of human struggle and adventure, and a dazzling feat of storytelling. | Vancouver by David Cruise, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
