| Opplysninger | A girl grows up in Nunavut, 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 powerof the ice and the 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 spirits that surround her, and the immense power that dwarfs all of us. When she gets pregnant she must navigsate all this. Veering back and forth between the grittiest features of a small arctic town, the electrfying proximity rf the world of animals, and ravishing world of myth, Tanya tagaq explores a world where the distinctions between good and evil, animal and human, victim and transgressor, real and imagined lose their meaning., but the guiding power of love remains. Haunting, brooding, exhilarating, and tender all at once, Tagaq moves effortlessly between fiction and memoir, myth and reality, poetry and prose, and conjures a world and a heroine readers will never forget.
