TENNIS COW, A Tale of Saltspring Island, by Stephanie Stockley, is the story of two women who arrive from a war-torn Britain in the 1940s to make a new life on Salt Spring Island, British Columbia, Canada.
In 1947, Caroline Pomfret and her daughter Sophie arrived from a war-weary Britain to make a new life on Saltspring Island, one of the loveliest of British Columbia's coastal islands. Here, they have to come to terms with a very different world and learn to fit in with a whole panoply of rather un-usual characters. Not since Betty MacDonald's 'Onions in the Stew' have women's lives on the Gulf Islands in the 1940's been portrayed so evocatively
