<p>Set against the divergent landscape of British Columbia &#8212; from the splendours of nature to its immense dangers, from urban grease and grit to dry, desert towns &#8212; <em>Clear Skies, No Wind, 100% Visibility</em> examines human beings and their many frailties with breathtaking insight and accuracy.</p>

<p>Th&#233;odora Armstrong peoples her stories with characters as richly various &#8212; and as compelling &#8212; as her settings. A soon-to-be father and haute cuisine chef mercilessly berates his staff while facing his lack of preparedness for parenthood. A young girl revels in the dark drama of the murder of a girl from her neighbourhood, until she begins to suspect that her troubled brother might be the murderer. A novice air-traffic specialist must come to terms with his first loss &#8212; the death of a pilot &#8212; on his watch. And the dangers of deep canyons and powerful currents spur on the reckless behaviour of teenagers as they test the limits of bravery, friendship, and sex.</p>



<p>With startling intimacy and language stripped bare, <em>Clear Skies, No Wind, 100% Visibility</em> announces the arrival of Th&#233;odora Armstrong as a striking new literary voice.</p>
