What people are saying…

  • Ultimately, this clash of beauty and destruction drives Remnants. We see throughout her work, the beauty Lang sees everywhere, and increasingly we see the narrative that these special places, these remnants that allow us to see how things were and should be, are beleaguered on all sides.

    Paul Falardeau— The B.C. Review

  • Lang, now the author of a deeply personal new book, still lives on—and loves—Sumas Mountain. But she has also grown much more aware that she’s not the only one—and that many, many people have come before her.

    Tyler Olsen— The Fraser Valley Current

  • Remnants: Reveries of a Mountain Dweller is thoughtful, evocative and poetic.

    Margaret Gallagher— CBC North by Northwest

  • Beautiful Read! Gifted to me recently by a friend and happy to say I enjoyed it very much. The book is an immersive journey through the breathtaking landscapes and rich history of Sumas Mountain, weaving together vivid descriptions and poignant reflections that evoke a profound sense of connection to the land.

    Diana Barbeau— Chapters Indigo Review

  • Beautiful imagery mixed with a deep contemplation of self and place, Remants is a wonderfully meditative read. The poetic language calls the reader to stop and dig into the vingette style memoir, asking the audience to find their own truth in the face of the complexity of ecological uncertainty, indigenous reconciliation, and other cultural contexts. As with many ecological centered narratives, the rich descriptions of place are dense and lush with key details. Best enjoyed with an open, contemplative heart.

    Mags D— Good Reads Review

  • I was drawn to this book because it is local, specifically about Sumas Mountain in Abbotsford, BC, nature, and colonization. ... I would categorize it as poetic environmentalist philosophy, if that is a category. Decent read and thought provoking...
