This is a paperback.

' 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 womean 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

This book has to be one of the most annoying books I've ever read. I absolutely hate the prose style and I haven't a clue what it is really about after reading. That is probably more of a reflection on me than Atwood, but what the hello, I thought this book stunk.

Would have given it a zero rating if I could've.

RELEASE NOTES:

Caught at The Cherry Tree Inn OBCZ.

RELEASE NOTES:

I will be taking this to the meet on Saturday

Picked this up at the Christmas Oxford Meet up at Vicky Arms. Will add this to mount TBR. I've only read a short Margaret Atwood Novel before - couldn't get on with Cats Eye but would like to read more of her work.

WILD RELEASE NOTES:

As Mt TBR is so high I'm taking this to the meet up tomorrow

I have read several of Margaret Atwood's books and enjoyed them. I haven't heard of this one before, I wonder if my thoughts about it will be the same as RubyBlueLady's?

Sorry I know this is a short book but I just couldn't get into it at all and gave up on it.

WILD RELEASE NOTES:

Leaving this at the airport. Hopefully it will help someone while away the time whilst waiting for a plane.
