The Garden Club
"Every paradise has a serpent, and every bud has a worm. Des Kennedy writes
about the bud-littered paradise of the Gulf Islands with the fond and
practiced eyes of a dyed in the wool denizen...Gardeners, island lovers, and
anyone who has found the activist within will find much here to
enjoy." ---Bill Richardson, CBC Radio host and award-winning author.
The Garden Club, originally published in 1996 and nominated for a Stephen Leacock Medal for Humor is being re-released with a new introduction by the author, Des Kennedy. In this warm and humorous new novel, well-known gardener and activist Des Kennedy delves into the world of Upshot Island, an imaginary place off B.C.'s coast. He uses his expertise in gardening and coastal plants to create a lush landscape perfect for the story's relationships and mysteries. The novel is populated with irresistibly strange characters such as Mistral Wind, Caitlin Slaney, and Elvira, who believes her missing husband was captured by a UFO. -- Whitecap Books
