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
In her third book, Zoë Landale explores the darkened rooms of family myth and history. Focusing on family members from the past - matrons, suicides and brilliant eccentrics - she investigates their lives and the shadowy but potent power they exert over the present.
Contributor Notes
Zoë Landale, who is rapidly becoming one of the pre-eminent voices in the definition of a West Coast sensibility, has published four previous books: one of non-fiction - Harvest of Salmon (Hancock House, 1976); two of poetry - Burning Stone (Ronsdale, 1995) & Colour of Winter Air (Sono Nis, 1991); edited an anthology of poetry - Shop Talk (Pulp, 1985), and her recent novel, Rain is Full of Ghosts (River Books, 2000). She now makes her home in Richmond, B.C.
