'One of the most important novels of the twentieth century utterly remarkable' New York Times 'Utterly absorbing and satisfying' Sunday Times 'A stunning and satisfying book' Time Out 'A deep understanding of human behaviour' Marilyn French
A young woman returns to northern Quebec to the remote island of her childhood, with her lover and two friends, to investigate the mysterious disappearance of her father. Flooded with memories, she begins to realise that going home means entering not only another place but another time. As the wild island exerts its elemental hold and she is submerged in the language of the wilderness, she sees that what she is really looking for is her own past.
