Description
Set against the backdrop of 1970s Yellowknife, this novel tells the story of Harry Boyd, a hard-bitten refugee from failure in Toronto television, who finds love and connection with a voice on air at a small radio station.
The summer of 1975 brings an unlikely group together, each with their own stories and pasts. As they navigate their relationships and rivalries, the balance of power in the North is being changed by the proposed Mackenzie Valley gas pipeline, threatening to displace Native people from their land.
With its gorgeous prose and dark humour, this novel explores the frailties of the human heart, bringing a skewering intelligence to the complexities of love and connection.
