The Curve of Time: The Classic Memoir of a Woman and Her Children Who Explored the Coastal Waters of the Pacific Northwestby M. Wylie Blanchet
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:After her husband died in 1927, leaving her with five small children, everyone expected the struggles of single motherhood on a remote island to overcome M. Wylie Blanchet. Instead, this courageous woman became one of the pioneers of "family travel," acting as both mother and captain of the twenty-five-foot boat that became her family's home during the long Northwest summers. Blanchet's lyrically written account reads like fantastic fiction, but her adventures are all very real. There are dangers — rough water, bad weather, wild animals — but there are also the quiet respect and deep peace of a woman teaching her children the wonder and awesome depth of the natural world. Review:"Filled with observations on natural history and the wonders of the wild, [Blanchet's] prose, like the waterfall she describes, sings." Kliatt About the AuthorM. Wylie Blanchet (1891-1961) spent most of her life on Vancouver Island, BC. She wrote for magazines such as Rudder, Pacific Yachting, Blackwoods, and Atlantic Monthly.
