Description

Sir Edward Leithen's life hangs in the balance as he faces a terminal diagnosis. With only a year to live, he embarks on an extraordinary journey from London to the Canadian Northwest in search of a man consumed by grief. This quest for redemption becomes Leithen's most heroic endeavour. Completed just days before his death, Sick Heart River is John Buchan's most powerful novel. The author's vivid descriptions of the rugged landscape were influenced by a personal experience, drawing on his own travels to Canada. A new introduction by James Buchan adds context to this authorised edition, which is sanctioned by the John Buchan Society. With its rich and authentic portrayal of the Canadian wilderness, Sick Heart River is a gripping tale of human struggle and resilience.
