Book Description
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.

Note: Different cover from that shown.

I find myself in possession of two copies of this book, so this one is off on a journey. First stage of the journey is to the big pile of books in the middle of the table, surrounded by coffee cups and book-lovers, at Caffe Nero in Ipswich.

Well... Uh... just closed the back cover and I don't really know what to make of it. On the strength of enjoying Oryx and Crake, and The Handmaid's Tale, I wanted to try more Margaret Atwood and this was the first one that came along. I have to say that the first half was a slog but tonight I was determined to finish it as it's relatively slight. I liked the whole idea of the cabin on the island but I guess most of it flew over my head which isn't unusual!

Will probably bring this back to Ipswich next Saturday.
