Cape Heartache is an evocative tale and the only American entry in Philip Sava’s celebrated series of exploration novels. Loosely inspired by Sava's own journey as a young adventurer to the Pacific Northwest in 1881, it stands out for its raw honesty and deeply personal narrative. The novel transports readers to a remote homestead nestled among towering old-growth trees along the rugged coast. There, Sava details his life-changing romance with a young woman from the Nehalem Tribe, weaving themes of discovery, love, and finding solace in unfamiliar places. Its exploration of leaving behind the familiar for the allure of the unknown remains deeply relevant and poignant, resonating with readers even today.
