Cloth. Condition: Fine. Very Good DJ. FIRST Edition Hardcover. 139 pages. (250 grams);"The city is another wilderness, thought Nona Hawk, tangled and treacherous also. But for her, and for other restless voting Indians in Canada, the bondage of old ways meant more heartache than the dangers of the new and they flocked to the excitement of white civilization. The isolated riverside settlement of her proud and aloof people felt stifling So Nona: her attraction to the stoic and silent trapper Daniel only threatened to imprison her further. Turning her back on tradition, she comes to Toronto eager for new friends and experiences. Disillusionment is brutal: prejudice against Indians in metropolitan Canada is ugly. Vainly she seeks a decent place to work and to live, finding only a waitress job in a small, cheap Chinese restaurant. Even there bigotry follows her. culminating in violence that leaves her shelterless once again. Loneliness brings her to the one place she finds a welcome. the squalid meeting-place of other rootless young Indians. Her heart tells her that due men are drifters; the girls, something worse. But longing and passion draw her into a turbulent illicit affair. When scandal and public shame force the whole sordid truth upon her, the faraway river of her people seems her only refuge. She returns, but with an awakened heart, and eyes that have seen too much ever to forget. Revealing a facet of human behavior unknown to most Americans, this sensitive novel by the author of Whistle on the Wind also poignantly portrays the struggle and turmoil of a proud voting people today, caught between two civilizations and belonging to none."
