Far Cry

By Alissa York. 2023

DAISY audio (CD), DAISY audio (Direct to player), DAISY audio (Zip)
General fiction, LGBTQ+ fiction, Historical fiction, Canadian fiction
Human-narrated audio

In a novel as compelling as the forbidden love at its heart, Alissa York, one of Canada's most distinctive writers,…

evokes an era of unspoken desires in which pain and longing are braided together along treacherous lines.It's 1922 at Far Cry Cannery, a quarter-mile of boardwalk and wooden buildings strung along the rocks of Rivers Inlet on the northwest coast of British Columbia. The time has come for Anders Viken, storekeeper and honorary uncle to the recently orphaned Kit, to give an account of his secret self—from his first home in Norway, another land of islands and fjords, to his escape from his family's loving grip, to his wide-open years of rough living and impossible love.As the sockeye flood up the inlet, Anders sets his secrets down for 18-year-old Kit, the only member of his chosen family he has left after her mother, Bobbie, scandalized Far Cry by running off with the camp's handsome Chinese cook, and her father, Frank, was found drowned alongside his own boat. While Anders does his reckoning, Kit fends off the attentions of the cannery manager and tries to earn her keep. Oars in hand, she glides her skiff out over the great returning school and casts her net. This, at least, makes sense to her, as opposed to the convoluted workings of love.
