Book
The world / Bill Gaston.
Weaving together five heartbreaking stories, Bill Gaston transforms the cruelty of life into something not only beautiful but heartwarming. The cast of characters are tied together not only by their bonds of affection, but by a book called "The World," written by the old man in his youth. The book, possibly biographical, tells the story of a historian who unearths a cache of letters, written in Chinese, in an abandoned leper colony off the coast of Victoria. Canadian author - BC
