Muriel Liffiton Biography Published

Cathy Converse, British Columbian historian and writer, recently completed a book on Muriel Liffiton, who wrote The Curve of Time under her married name, M. Wylie Blanchet. The hardcover biography, published by TouchWood Editions, went to press the first week of March 2008, and is now available through your local bookseller under the title, Following the Curve of Time: The Legendary M. Wylie Blanchet.

Muriel's friends knew her as "Capi," the captain of a 25 foot boat, Caprice, which she and her children used to explore the coastal waters of British Columbia. The Converse biography is a wonderful combination of Capi's life story with modern day accounts of the seacoast locations Capi visited. You can read the Liffiton Family History article on Muriel in the section titled "Capi," or download it from the Archives section. But the new book has the full story.
