An exceptional novel from the winner of the Booker Prize, hailed by the New York Times as 'one of the most important novels of the twentieth century'
Klappentext:
By the author of The Handmaid's Tale, The Testaments and Alias Grace
'One of the most important novels of the 20th century . . . utterly remarkable' New York Times
'I feel it will be different if I look myself. Probably when we get there my father will have returned from wherever he has been, he will be sitting in the cabin waiting for us.'
A young woman returns to northern Quebec, to the remote island of her childhood, with her lover and her 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.
'A stunning and satisfying book' Time Out
