Monkey Beach by Eden Robinson

This is a story filled with mystery, magic and heartbreak. It tells of a family living on Vancouver Island in the small Haisla community of Kitamaat and takes place just as the family's son goes missing. It is told by his sister, Lisa, and is filled with memories of her youth and her route towards self discovery and maturity. It reflects on the dynamic of a family and the influences they have on each other. A wonderfully written, moving, funny and thought provoking novel.
