A GLOBE 100 Best Book of the Year In the grand tradition of Micheners Alaska and Rutherfords Sarum, bestselling authors David Cruise and Alison Griffiths have captured the essence of one of Canadas richest settings.

Fascinating characters come to life, including a Russian cartographer, a Scottish trapper, a Chinese peasant boy and a young woman from the desperate streets of Vancouvers downtown eastside. All share a powerful attraction to this unique, storied place. An absorbing historical chronicle, Vancouver is a tale of human struggle and adventure, and a dazzling feat of storytelling.
