West of Here: a novel by Jonathan Evison
Shoreline and Richmond Beach have joined with Lake Forest Park READS this year, marking a new chapter in the eighth year of this community literary event.
West of Here, set in the fictional town of Port Bonita on Washington's Olympic Peninsula, alternates between the 1890s and the present, following the stories of the Klallam Indians and the white settlers who saw the Olympic Peninsula as America's last frontier.
This epic novel portrays the culture clash between natives and newcomers, the building of the Elwha dam, and the repercussions of northwest history in our modern era.
Third Place Books offers 20% off on this title June 1 - August 31.
