Description
pp. 223, “This book is a lyrical testament to a great love affair between the writer and his region. In A Walk with the Rainy Sisters, one of British Columbia’s favourite authors writes with passion about his favourite topic–the geography of British Columbia. Stephen Hume guides readers through the natural world, moving from the thin, cold air of British Columbia’s high country to the fecundity and silence of the deep rainforest. He writes of the iridescence of dragonflies dancing out brief lives above summer ponds and the brittle forests of glass sponges growing in the lightless depths of the continental shelf, where they have flourished undisturbed since the Jurassic.”
