Synopsis

Russel takes a dog team and sled to escape his village and find the "song" that will make sense of his life. Journeying across ice floes, and haunted by dreams, he meets a pregnant Eskimo girl whose life he must save. But first he must kill a vicious polar bear in the ancient way of his people.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

IN THE OLD DAYS THERE WERE SONGS

Something is bothering Russel Susskit. He hates waking up to the sound of his father's coughing, the smell of diesel oil, the noise of snow machines starting up.

Only Oogruk, the shaman who owns the last team of dogs in the village, understands Russel's longing for the old ways and the songs that celebrated them. But Oogruk cannot give Russel the answers he seeks; the old man can only prepare him for what he must do alone. Driven by a strange, powerful dream of a long-ago self and by a burning desire to find his own song, Russel takes Oogruk's dogs on an epic journey of self-discovery that will change his life forever.
