This book is a must-have for those interested in Roddy Haig-Brown, Ann Elmore Haig-Brown, Campbell River, conservation in B.C., and their histories.
Reading the romantic biography of Roddy & Ann Haig-Brown entitled, "Deep Currents" has been a warm and cozy ride on the way-back machine. Their eldest daughter, Valerie (picture by Jim Coutts, from the books' dust jacket), has written a lovely account of her parents via their prolific and detailed letters. From their births, formative years, families, adventures and educations, meeting each other in a book store, and the deep devotion which is apparent within the words written to each other, Valerie has laboured over a most beautiful piece which brings me to tears at least every chapter. I'll be finished within days and do not want it to end.
Highly recommended for those who wish to 'understand' the lives lived within the enigma.
