Helpful Score: 4
This book blew me away. The descriptive prose, the character development, the unexpected plot direction.... I would highly recommend this in a heartbeat. Hay's descriptions of northern Canada make you feel like you are right there seeing the caribou, bears, birds, tree lines, bodies of water and expansive tundra. Who would expect that a book that takes place in a radio station in the hinterlands could hold its readers so captive? The adventure into the wild tundra to follow the trail of an Arctic explorer of yesteryear is amazing and engrossing, and you will find yourself with no preconceived expectations about the transformation of the lives of the characters or their final life choices. This book has GOT to be made into a movie.
