This is a beautiful book. The style is very unique - I listened to the audiobook version which was a treat. It is written in first person present tense for the most part, which adds a sense of immediacy to the text. The story highlights a little-known part of Canada's history, and includes believable and outlandish characters. Highly recommended.
