"First published in Great Britain 1973."
A young woman returns to the remote island of her childhood in Northern Canada 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.
Originally published Toronto : McClelland and Stewart, 1972 ; London : Deutsch, 1973
