Description

Longlisted for the 2023-2024 Gordon Burn Prize Longlisted for the 2018 Scotiabank Giller PrizeWinner of the 2019 Indigenous Voices Award for Published Prose in EnglishFact can be as strange as fiction.

It can also be as dark, as violent, as rapturous. In the end, there may be no difference between them.

An Inuk girl grows up in Nunavut, Canada, in the 1970s.

She knows joy, and friendship, and parents' love. She knows boredom, and listlessness, and bullying. She knows the tedium of the everyday world, and the raw, amoral power of the ice and sky, the seductive energy of the animal world.

She knows the ravages of alcohol, and violence at the hands of those she should be able to trust.

She sees the spirits that surround her, and the immense power that dwarfs all of us. When she becomes pregnant, she must navigate all this. In this acclaimed debut novel - haunting, brooding, exhilarating, and tender all at once - Tanya Tagaq explores the grittiest features of a small Arctic town and the electrifying proximity of the worlds of animals and of myth.
