He is tortured by memories and by the fact that his disability now renders him unable to do things he’s always done.

The war has taken so much more than his leg. But often people change along the way, and as soon as Audrey arrives in Canada it becomes apparent that Danny’s a different man from the one she met in France. I imagine for many love was the only way to survive the nightmare of war. Even after he is gravely wounded she is determined to be with him, and she begins her own voyage – meeting suffragettes and working as a munitionette – on her way to Halifax, Nova Scotia.Įlizabeth: That sounds like a fascinating journey for both of them. They fall in love via dirt-smudged, water-stained letters, and Danny asks Audrey to marry him, to become his wife in Canada. The last thing he had ever expected was to meet the love of his life in France. Life in the trenches steals men’s humanity, suffocates hope beneath blood and mud – except just when the horrors of war are becoming too much for Danny, along comes Audrey. Like so many other boys, Danny heads overseas in 1914 with no idea of the nightmare he’s about to experience. The story is about Danny Baker, an Eastern Shore fisherman here in Nova Scotia. Who doesn’t love to talk about their baby?

Genevieve: Thanks, Elizabeth! I’m very happy to be with you here today, and I would love to tell you about Tides of Honour. Can you tell us more about your most recent novel, Tides of Honour ? Her first international best seller Under the Same Sky, and its two companion novels, were set in Scotland and the colonies, but she has since found her niche in writing Canadian historical fiction.Įlizabeth: Welcome, Genevieve. This book was based on a special issue of Journal of Hospitality Marketing & Mangement.Today I’m welcoming historical novelist Genevieve Graham. This is the experience economy, characterised by a search by consumers for fantasies, feelings, and fun. The trend is enhanced by rapidly changing technology and economic production methods providing new sectors of the world’s population with access to the consumption experiences that are repeatedly featured in the media. This trend manifests in the increasing consumption of services and the addition of experiential elements to physical goods by businesses aware of societal changes. Instead people are now seeking the ‘extraordinary’ with examples being bodies enhanced through surgery, personal fitness trainers, and, in the case of leisure and tourism, seeking unique and unusual places to visit and activities to undertake. Many societies today are characterised by widespread individual wealth of an order previously confined to the elite with the consequence that ownership of ‘ordinary’ physical goods is no longer a distinguishing factor. This book provides a review of the current theory and practice of experiential tourism and how it is marketed.
