Like other members of her tribe, Maina accepts natureès inexorable laws. But what of menès lawsÉ Why tan hidesa when she is thrilled with huntigÉ Why submit to the advances of Saito, her betrothed, when shedetests himÉ No, she will never yieldÉ
Bolstered with these convictions and stirred by a need to afirm hersel, Maina setsout on a long quest,a search for her own identity. Arrayed with imposing characters and engraved with emotions,sensuality and spirituality, her journey brings her to the lands of the Inuit where she is to experience her meting with Natak, the great hunter of the polar regions.
Wars of agression, ancestral beliefs, racism, intolerance; Maina will quicly learn that menès laws are as cruel as natureès laws. She is to pay dearly for her distinctiveness.
A dense and enthralling narrative, immensely rich in ethnology. A superb voyage to the out limits of the Great Nort 3,500 years ago. A powerful work marked by larger than life passion and ferment.
