In "The Tent Peg," award-winning novelist Aritha van Herk uses her
unerring perception and impressive literary skill to capture the
mystical mood of the Arctic and the people who are drawn to it.
In this intriguing story, a young woman who disguises herself as
a man to work in a uranium prospecting camp deep in the Yukon
mountains. J.L. is on the run from an empty heart and is desperate
for solitude. Yet solitude eludes her from the moment she hangs up
her pots and pans in the cook tent, and the men in the camp begin
to drift toward her, drawn by her silence. These men are drifters,
romantics and outcasts - men who have come to the North in search
of answers for questions they can't define.
