"Loved it and will definitely be reading more of Mowat's work. If you're a fan of Jim Harrison, Jon Krakauer, or Tobias Wolff, then you'll dig Mowat. This novel has a very deep and earthy tone with a fierce reverence for all things wild. In a nutshell, a Canadian man returns somewhat shell-shocked from WWII and seeks to escape the horrors of civilization by plunging deep into the remote northernmost reaches of Manitoba. He joins a two-man scientific expedition as a means to get into the north but soon falls into company with a hard-core fur trapping family and learns what toughing it is all about. Entranced by the land, the animals, and the native people he convinces one of the brothers to undertake some harrowing journeys deeper into the wild via canoe and barely survives the ordeal. Given the limited technology that was available in the late-forties, coupled with their insanely remote location, it blew me away how skilled and tenacious these people had to be to survive up there year in and year out. I will read this again for sure."
"A gorgeous, visual, well-told story that draws the reader in. Rich, visual descriptions of the dangerous beauty of travelling by canoe (and other means) over the mostly uncharted territory of Canada's Barrenlands in the 1920s. The friendship between the two travellers is complex and caught up in connections with the land and the people who live there."
