This book "Sounding Line" is a great read! It's hardcover and in perfect condition. It's written by Anne DeGrace and focuses on extraterrestrial events that took place in Nova Scotia, Canada. Great read for a space fan or Nova Scotia or Maritimes citizens :) Below is a synopsis!
In 1967, an unidentified flying object crashed into the waters of Shag Harbour, Nova Scotia. The incident came to be known as “Canada’s Roswell.” Anne DeGrace, a writer from Nelson, B.C., uses this bit of regional history as the starting point for her third novel.
The book begins when teenager Pocket Snow sees something splash down in the water of Perry’s Harbour. Local fishermen in the small town assume the event is a plane crash. Pocket, however, has other things to deal with. His mother, Merle, is dying of cancer, and Pocket, his father, and his uncle struggle to comfort her and come to terms with their own inevitable loss. Meanwhile, reports of the UFO bring interlopers to the tiny fishing community, including a young reporter from Ottawa, a psychic UFO chaser, a CBC film crew, and the military.
DeGrace concentrates on the people in the community and the ways their lives are affected by the intrusion of both the UFO and the outsiders who arrive in response. The UFO and its origins fade into the background as the novel progresses, ceding ground to the subtle transformations and growth of the characters.
DeGrace’s writing is moving and her characters speak in a believable regional dialect.
