| Description: | Man-tay-seepee (River of Strangers) is the Cree name for the Churchill River in Manitoba, where Frank Parker Day’s classic novel takes place. In this dramatic story, Day tells the tale of men and women surviving the rough frontier of the early 20th century fur trade: a fanatically reformist clergyman challenges the unlicensed ways of a primitive frontier; a Highland Cape Breton hero tries to find purpose and meaning in self-exile from his old life; women struggle for recognition and dignity in an isolated world dominated by both weak and powerful men; and a secret romance threads its way throughout the story. Day explores the mystery and loneliness of this isolated and powerful landscape.—Penguin Random House Canada [Suggest a different description.] |
