\nIt is not surprising that Bernadette Calonego, a Vancouver-based foreign\n correspondent for German, Swiss and Austrian newspapers, could not \nresist this theme.
\nIn her second novel \u201cUnter dunklen Wassern\u201d (Verlag Bloomsbury Berlin), \nshe transforms the real-life-material into a thriller with a fictitious \nmodern heroine: A Swiss historian named Sonja Werner travels in the \nfootsteps of Else Seel in Western and Northern Canada. But secretly, the\n heroine wants to find out why her own husband had died in a floatplane \ncrash near Prince Rupert three years before. She is also curious as to \nwhy her best friend Odette had vanished that time.
\nThe adventurous and dangerous search takes the heroine to such authentic\n places as Vancouver, Haida Gwaii and a camp of prospectors digging for \ndiamonds in the Arctic.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
