In 2010, bestselling author Kathleen Winter (Annabel) embarked on a
journey across the storied Northwest Passage, among marine
scientists, historians, archaeologists, anthropologists, and
curious passengers. From Greenland to Baffin Island and all along
the passage, Winter bears witness to the new math of the
North--where polar bears mates with grizzlies, creating a new
hybrid species; where the earth is on the cusp of yielding so much
buried treasure that five nations stand poised to claim sovereignty
of the land; and where the local Inuit population struggles to
navigate the tension between taking part in the new global economy
and defending their traditional way of life. Throughout Winter's
journey, she learns from fellow passengers such as Aaju Peter and
Bernadette Dean, who teach her about Inuit society (both past and
present). She bonds with Nathan Rogers, son of the late Canadian
icon Stan Rogers, who died in a plane crash when Nathan was just a
young boy. Nathan's quest is to take the route his father never
traveled, expect in his beloved song "The Northwest Passage," which
he performs both as anthem and lament at sea. And she guides
readers through her own personal odyssey, emigrating from England
to Canada as a child and discovering both what was lot and what was
gained as a result of that journey. In breathtaking prose charged
with vivid descriptions of the land and its people, Kathleen
Winter's Boundless is a haunting and powerful homage to the
ever-evolving and magnetic power of the North.
