The Curve of Time
The 50th anniversary edition of this BC classic, now in hardcover, will make a timeless keepsake.
This is a biography and astonishing adventure story of a woman who, left a widow in 1927, packed her five children onto a 25-foot boat and cruised the coastal waters of British Columbia, summer after summer.
Muriel Wylie Blanchet acted single-handedly as skipper, navigator, engineer and, of course, mum, as she saw her crew through encounters with tides, fog, storms, rapids, cougars and bears. She sharpened in her children a special interest in Haida culture and in nature itself.
In this book, she left us with a sensitive and compelling account of their journeys.

I love learning about local history and this book did it for me. It’s a memoir about a woman who became widowed and took her 5 children every summer all over BC’s waters in a small boat. The descriptions of the water, the sea creatures, the flora and fauna when they pull in, and the places of BC’s history are so rich in this book. Each chapter is a small essay about a particular place they would come back to year after year, or a specific event (dangerous, unusual, etc.). The events happened nearly 100 years ago, but you can still envision these wild places if you’ve been lucky enough to see them. It’s a great book to put along with your Geography or Canadian history (BC).
