Synopsis

In the tradition of "The Old Patagonian Express" and "Blue Highways," this book is an autobiographical narrative combining a sense of personal adventure with vivid impressions of Canada's culture and geography. The author spent four months traveling by rail from Sydney, Nova Scotia across the heartland to Prince Rupert, British Columbia, stopping not only in the major cities but also the small towns and remote settlements off the beaten track. He is thus able to provide a nuanced portrait of the country with all its touching, humorous and eccentric aspects. Map on end papers. 233 pages.
