Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

This is a novel about culture shock, love, loss, identify, belonging, the Inuit people, and the birth of the Nunavut Territory in Arctic Canada. The setting is a small Inuit community on the west coast of Hudson Bay in the early 1970s. The story is told from the perspectives of multiple individuals speaking of their own experiences. These include an elderly Inuit hunter, his son who is adjusting to many cultural changes, and a nurse-midwife newly arrived from England to provide medical care in a community where all is new to her. As the story unfolds, these lives become interconnected.
