THROUGH BLACK SPRUCE (2008) By Joseph Boyden

I really liked this one. Story is built around members of the Cree Indian group in Moosonee, Ontario, at the Southern tip of James Bay. Will Bird is a Bush Pilot closely connected to his land and culture. Annie Bird his niece is a trapper and hunter but has just returned from Manhattan in search of a lost sister. Suspenseful yet beautifully written, I didn't want this one to end. Winner of the Scotiabank Giller Prize.
