“Blue Heron” tells the story of Sasha’s life, and is best described as a memoir. Sasha acknowledges she has few clear memories of her childhood and questions their accuracy, but she’s determined to explore them. The story begins as she looks at old photos on her phone, and we’re transported back to the 1990s, witnessing the arrival of her Hungarian immigrant family – her parents, three brothers, and sister – at their new home on Vancouver Island, Canada.
