| I read this book while on vacation and found it to be very interesting. Although it is a novel, it deals a lot with the history of pearling. You can read the synopsis and see if it is something you would enjoy. It partly takes place in Vancouver where I spent time as a child. http://www.amazon.ca/Three-Views-Cry.../dp/0002005891        |
