October Ferry to Gabriola is a novel by Malcolm Lowry. Edited by his widow Margerie Bonner, it was posthumously published in 1970.
It is an existential love story featuring a Lowry-like character, Ethan Lleweyllen, and his wife, in their never-fully-consummated journey to Gabriola, an island near Vancouver in British Columbia. The themes are living, loving, drinking, travel mysticism, and literature in the 1940s.
