Imaginary Authors - Cape Heartache

£145.00
£90.00

CONIFEROUS SWEET MYSTERIOUS Cape Heartache is the lone American contribution to Philip Sava’s wildly popular series of exploration novels. It is based loosely on an expedition he made to the Pacific Northwest as a teenager in 1881 and is generally regarded as the most candid and clearheaded of his works.

Curators Note

Cape Heartache balances cold forest air with an unexpected hit of strawberry. That contrast is what makes it memorable. A very good choice for someone who wants woods with personality rather than another generic cedar scent.
