Title: rattenbury
Product review: This is a sympathetic biography of the man responsible for Victoria (Vancouver Island's) magnificent architecture.As a non Canadian I was drawn to this book as much out of interest about the man and his architecture as the love-hate relationship Canadians seem to have with him.It is extensively researched and not only gives his background, but covers his life after his fame as Victoria's most famous architect.It is easy to read and is in fact a great story.Anyone who enjoys reading novels should not be put off by the fact that this is a biography! It has romance corruption and tragedy. This is all set at the time of the Klondike gold rush and is graphically described.You need have no interest or knowledge in either architecture or history to enjoy this.
