Title: Convergence of the Land and the Spirit
Product review: This is a charming book which would be hard for booksellers to categorize. It is about the author's spiritual journey - a kind of pilgrimage of self-discovery - which she undertakes by visiting key landscapes throughout Alberta, from the far northern reaches of the Canadian Shield to the parched grasslands in the southeastern corner of the province. Thus, it is both a travel book and a memoir, and it also contains good scientific information and beautiful colour photographic plates illustrating the various landscapes of Alberta. Such a mixture is intriguing, but it means the book is diffuse rather than tight in its structure (or to put it more simply, it wanders whimsically from topic to topic). If you approach the book with the expectation that it will be eclectic and a little unfocussed, this will soon cease to seem like much of a defect, and indeed, it becomes part of the book's considerable charm.
