Unmarked: Landscapes Along Highway 16

by Sarah de Leeuw

Unmarked: Landscapes Along Highway 16 is an exploration of the overlooked, forgotten and unknown regions of rural British Columbia. By exploring the terrain between the dots on the map, de Leeuw tells the stories of transient life in the small fishing and logging communities that border Highway 16. With the deft detail of one who has spent her life in spaces often disregarded in our ever-increasingly-urban focused gaze, de Leeuw merges her own narrative with the raw and rugged landscape of northwest BC.

Superb. Thoroughly enjoyed this vision of northern BC, rendered in these touching, insightful, often-painful to hear, stories/essays about the land and its people. The one about PG was right on the mark. Especially loved the maps at the beginning of each one. Truly a well-written journey through the northern landscapes along highway 16.
