About BC Books Online
BC Books Online was created for anyone interested in BC-published books, and with librarians especially in mind. We'd like to make it easy for library staff to learn about books from BC publishers - both new releases and backlist titles - so you can inform your patrons and keep your collections up to date.
Our site features print books and ebooks - both new releases and backlist titles - all of which are available to order through regular trade channels. Browse our subject categories to find books of interest or create and export lists by category to cross-reference with your library's current collection.
A quick tip: When reviewing the "Browse by Category" listings, please note that these are based on standardized BISAC Subject Codes supplied by the books' publishers. You will find additional selections, grouped by theme or region, in our "BC Reading Lists."

Description
Grand Winner of the 15th annual 3-Day Novel-Writing Contest
A Circle of Birds is an impressionistic, finely wrought tale of lost memory, tangled history, despair and discovery. It is a journey through much Canadian and world history; a mind-melting descent into mental illness, a sordid yarn of death and twisted love.
Praise for Circle of Birds:
"An unsettling meditation on the passage of time and the nature of identity." (Books in Canada)
"Modernist humanity come full circle." (The Vancouver Sun)
"This is a surprising tour-de-force, and its author should be praised for it; his vision is bleak, his language spare, but his imagination is rich and his abilities are profuse. More, please, Mr. Trenholm." (Geist)
Contributor Notes
Hayden Trenholm is a native of Nova Scotia who has lived in various areas of Canada. He is best known in Alberta for his playwriting. 'A Circle of Birds' is his first published novel.
