Border Songs
of Jim Lynch (Goodreads Author)
Description
Brandon Vanderkoolâs severe dyslexia and six-foot-eight height give him an unusual perspective on his new job with the American Border Patrol, along the Washington/BC border ĂąâŹâ just a long, grassy ditch, really, barely dividing neighbours who used to be as congenial as those in any small community. Though his curious mind proves surprisingly adept at intercepting Canadian pot smugglers and potentially dangerous illegals, years of security hysteria and cross-border resentment ĂąâŹâ and a fascinating young Canadian who has turned her green thumb to a more lucrative crop ĂąâŹâ complicate Brandonâ s world in ways even he might not be able to see past.Border Songs is that rare delight: a gently satirical portrait, an extraordinary love story and a celebration of the coincidental and the miraculous.From the Hardcover edition.
