It's not a hometown, actually, it's a home island. "It's the same size and shape as Manhattan," Arthur tells people at parties all his life, "except with a thousand people." Delano Island is between Vancouver Island and mainland British Columbia, a straight shot north from Los Angeles. The island is all temperate rain forest and rocky beaches, deer breaking into vegetable gardens and leaping in front of windshields, moss on low-hanging branches, the sighing of wind in cedar trees."
