- Summary:
- This debut novel, set in a 1915 whaling station in the Queen Charlotte Islands, invokes the spirits of five dreamers held hostage to time, place, and memory: Leo Slaney, whose fumbled overtures to repair his marriage mask guilt and repressed desire; Nora, Leo's distraught wife destroyed by loss; Isobel, their rebellious daughter awakened to the forbidden love of a Japanese suitor; Lee Sun, an innocent seduced by opium in Victoria's Chinatown; and Kazuo Yamamoto, a wronged outsider yearning for his wife in Japan. "Hale expertly unwinds the story through the voices of each character." -- Quill & Quire
