"Very moving and warm book which helps to bring the lives of the native Americans to life. To be able to recognise their beliefs and customs and empathise with their fears and struggles of every day . The vicar, Mark, grew in character throughout the book as he became more and more a member of the village. This is a book which I can read over and over again and still find something new in it. I will remember it for a long time" - Amazon Reviewer

With an introduction by author Cynan Jones

When Mark Brian, a young priest, is sent to the Indian village of Kingcome in British Columbia, he finds himself in an astonishing place of salmon runs and ancient totems. Yet amidst the beauty, the old culture is under attack, slowly being replaced by prefab houses and alcoholism. Mark has not long to live, and so he sets about sharing the hunting and fishing, the festivals and funerals, the joys and sorrows of a once proud tribe. Perhaps here he will learn enough of life to be ready to die.

With all the qualities of a legend or fable, I Heard the Owl Call My Name is a journey of discovery, and a story about the transforming power of love. Exploring the clash of old and new, it is an outstanding modern classic, both wise and tragic.
