How interesting; from all I've heard about other Canadian cities it doesn't seem like they've held onto 'Britishness' particularly. I've always intended to visit the US Northwest at some point, so I may need to move that up in my list and check out Victoria as well!Rosariohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13015659149421085931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3730322.post-53679761217362632512018-08-21T17:52:55.549+01:002018-08-21T17:52:55.549+01:00(Er, the first people aside from the natives who w...(Er, the first people aside from the natives who were displaced, of course.)meljean brookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16135527993507471830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3730322.post-4080114894566700672018-08-21T17:51:59.124+01:002018-08-21T17:51:59.124+01:00I have this on my TBR but after this review, I'...I have this on my TBR but after this review, I'll probably move it up. I've heard a lot of great things about this author but just haven't taken the time yet to read anything. <br /><br />Also, Victoria is a lovely city! A few years back (too many years back) my siblings and I took a ferry up there and spent some time exploring. It's super interesting because it feels very "British Isle" in the sense that the buildings and just the general feel of the city seems like a touristy, condensed version of what I imagine the UK is like from books and films. As if there's nothing that's REALLY genuinely British, but by golly, the people who first settled there desperately tried to hang onto the motherland, in the location on North America that is practically the farthest from it. meljean brookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16135527993507471830noreply@blogger.com
