Review: Bush Telegraph

Bush Telegraph: Discovering the Pacific Province
by Stephen Hume

This is a gem of a collection of essays by Stephen Hume about British Columbia, ranging from history to nature to even a few recipes for native berries. Hume has a nose for tales that reveal the human condition and our relationship to the geography and history of this amazing province. From the wisdom of first nations to the aspirations of early immigrants, these stories are pictures into the human soul and our relationship with the ocean and land around us. Hume's prose displays an intense dedication to his craft and is a joy to read.
