regrettably i had to speed through this book as it was due back at the library with 200+ holds on it.this book is beautiful. very meaty, but absolutely outstanding and deserving of its many accolades. i had to carefully read it, often pausing after particular sentences to let the words sink in; be absorbed. after my last rather vacuous read, this was a welcome change. elizabeth hay's prose is majestic and complex. she gets inside each of her characters and offers profound insights into their lives and personalities. my strong interest in heading to the northern part of canada was reawakened and satisfied.
set in yellowknife in the 1970's, the story follows the people who work for the local radio station. fabulous.
