The woman in the trees

William, Gerry 1952- (Author).

Summary: Often, the way a story is told is as important as the story itself. This is true of the most recent novel by Gerry William,The Woman in the Trees.Set during the time of first contact, The Woman in the Trees takes place around what is now Vernon, BC. The novel moves effortlessly from myth to dream time to narrative real time. Spanning the historical period from 1780 to 1860, The Woman in the Trees addresses a time of massive upheaval for the Okanagan people (the syilx). The coming of the horse, relations with early Europeans, and the smallpox epidemic dramatically changed the lives of the syilx.
