Emily Carr in God’s Country

“It would be difficult to live in British Columbia for any length of time without being confronted with the name of Emily Carr and one or all of her several personae: the lonely, struggling artist; the undaunted traveller; the endearing memoirist; the doughty eccentric.”
–Maria Tippett, University of Cambridge
