Hunter's Daughter

Nilliq, a young Inuit woman in a remote hunting camp, mourns for Aiti, and her chance to escape the oppressive snowhouse of her father.

Mountie Jack McLain, under pressure from HQ, must solve the latest murder up the coast. Wallin, a young shaman, crosses their paths on his own mission to restore a fading traditional life on the land.

This tense mystery, charting a journey of personal and cultural transformation, is set in Arctic Quebec (now Nunavut) in 1964. Hunter’s Daughter creates an authentic atmosphere like that of the stories of Farley Mowat or the film Smilla's Sense of Snow. Damien Morgan calls Hunter’s Daughter “by far the best book I have received through Library Thing's Early Reviewers' program… a fascinating story… great story-telling.
