ON ISLAND, LIFE AMONG THE COAST DWELLERS, is a "lively, engaging collection of island stories, full of deftly observed characters, most of whom would be wonderful to meet walking among "the Coast Dwellers." A wonderful read from a very talented writer." -Anna Porter, award-winning author and publisher of Key Porter Books In this collection of short stories, Pat Carney follows the rhythms of day-to-day life in coastal BC. Featuring a revolving cast of characters —the newly retired couple, the church warden, the musician, the small-town girl with big city dreams —Carney’s keen observations of the personalities and dramas of coastal life are instantly recognizable to readers who are familiar with life in a small community. With her narrative of dock fights, pet shows, family feuds, logging camps and the ever-present tension between islanders and property-owning “off-islanders,” Carney’s witty and perceptive voice describes how the islanders weather the storms of coastal life.
