• Sommario/riassunto: The Curve of Time by M. Wylie Blanchet recounts the author's experiences exploring the coastal waters of British Columbia with her children during summer camping trips. The narrative reflects on the timelessness of these voyages, where the beauty of the sea and mountains contrasts with the confinement of their small boat. Blanchet shares tales of their adventures, the challenges of living in close quarters, and the profound connection with nature. The book offers insights into the simplicity and joys of family life on the water, making it an engaging read for those interested in travel, adventure, and the natural world.
