October Ferry to Gabriola

**Paradise proves fleeting in this engrossing tale of a married couple who tries to chase away the past by immersing themselves in nature**

Edited by Malcolm Lowry’s widow and released more than a decade after his death, *October Ferry to Gabriola *is the sentimental story of two individuals striving for sanity, inspiration, hope, and purpose in the deep seclusion of the British Columbian forest. Once the couple finds a new home in the woods, their new, off-the-grid life together becomes their last attempt at finding stability... Illuminating and joyful, *October Ferry to Gabriola *is a striking ode to the struggle for hope amid the purity of the wilderness—a story made all the more poignant by Lowry’s untimely death before publication.
