About The Book
In 1972, Melinda Blauvelt spent the summer in the small Acadian fishing village of Brantville, New Brunswick on Canada’s Eastern coast. She lived with a fisherman and his family, ran a day camp, and made a series of remarkable, compassionate portraits of the village residents that summer and on three subsequent visits from 1972 to 1974. Her photographs are now published as a series for the first time. Publisher’s Info
