This is Hurston’s passion project, heavily researched, with a different take on a notorious figure. Sadly it was unpublished and partially burned at her death. Not her strongest prose or narration, but still interesting.

As the main character, a young Haisla woman, sets out to look for her brother, lost at sea, memories of her family and visions/ghostly encounters flow in and out of her narration like the waves she’s on. It’s a beautiful book despite its tragic story.
