Extract (from jacket notes): “Moving Sands is a story of tempests, marauders, shipwrecks and ghosts. Part fiction, part documentary, this is the unlikely epic of 43 km of sand and 500 years of history… Visionaries, madmen, inventors and artists have all be lured to its shores, but now their secrets lie buried far beneath the dunes…Baylaucq uses the century-old photo collection of islander Trixie Bouteillier and her imagined thoughts to guide us through Sable’s notorious past.”   Yikes!
