A treasure trove of intriguing photos and stories emerged when historian Jeanette Taylor set to work on her latest book, Sheltering in the Backrush, A History of Twin Islands. Some of the stories are so bizarre, says Taylor, they prove the old adage that truth is stranger than fiction.


Copies of Sheltering in the Backrush, A History of Twin Islands” will be available for purchase ($24.95 plus tax, Harbour Publishing) and signing after the talk.


Jeanette Taylor is the author of five nonfiction books about our region. She’s currently working on a biography of Courtenay settler Reginald Pidcock, historical fiction, and a history of the Broughtons/mainland inlets. Taylor also teaches fiction and nonfiction writing workshops for the McLoughlin Gardens Society.


Advance tickets are recommended. Tickets can be purchased over the phone by calling 250-334-0686 ext 2.
