About the book
"From Amazon " Sheila Watson's The Double Hook and Ray Smith's Cape Breton Is the Thought Control Centre of Canada are the twin fountainheads of experimental fiction in Canada. A McLuhan protégé, steeped in the formal adventures of international modernism, Watson brought a new sophistication to Canadian writing with The Double Hook. A lyrical, allusive novel about a remote BC village, The Double Hook is a pure and challenging beauty of a book. Product Description In spare, allusive prose, Sheila Watson charts the destiny of a small, tightly knit community nestled in the BC Interior. Here, among the hills of Cariboo country, men and women are caught upon the double hook of existence, unaware that the flight from danger and the search for glory are both part of the same journey. In Watson's compelling novel, cruelty and kindness, betrayal and faith shape a pattern of enduring significance."--from amazon.ca.
