Michel Drouin’s memoir recounts his youth on the north-east coast of Vancouver Island during the heyday of British Columbia’s fishing and logging industries. The author was a toddler when his family moved from Quebec in 1953 to the small logging settlement of Port Hardy, “past the end of the road” as the book’s title states. Access to the town was limited to boat and plane until the expansion of the Island highway in 1979.
