Author: Bill Richardson. Published by Talon Books, Vancouver, BC., 2019, 1st Edition. SIGNED by the Author. Printed in Canada. Like New Condition SOFTCOVER Book. Clean inside, tight spine. Size: 8.5 x 5.5 inch, 247 pages.

Eight linked stories, all set around Christmastime in Vancouver’s West End neighbourhood, explore the seasonal tug-of-war between expectation and disappointment. These tales give shelter to characters from various walks of life whose experience of transcendence leaves them more alienated than consoled.

I Saw Three Ships captures a West End community vanishing under pressure from development and skyrocketing real-estate prices. As arch as they are elegiac, as funny as they are melancholy, these stories honour a cherished period in the history of the West End. Sometimes twisted, sometimes tender, I Saw Three Ships will speak to all who have ever been stuck spinning their wheels at the corner of Heathen and Holy.
