I have no real experience of what it's like in the Arctic. Thus finding out about it from reading a well-written mystery novel was a pleasure. The factual details of what everyday life entails in the far North for the people who live there are fascinating to me. While Edie Kiglatuk was solving the mystery, I read about her diet including blubber, seal blood and other local foods extremely strange to me. I read of her continuous need to protect herself from the elements by layering furs and other sorts of clothing that she had obtained and made from hunting. This life is not simple or easy; survival is sometimes a moment-by-moment achievement. All in all, I appreciated the way the author made the characters real and down-to-earth and eminently believable, the way the environment itself was depicted that made it, in all its characteristics both subtle and dramatic, a character in the story. I was not only entertained but informed by this book.
This British author and world traveler has created a terrific character in Edie Kiglatuk, an Inuit hunting guide in the High Arctic. Watching Edie build an ice shelter, or drive a dog sled over the tundra, or handle a rifle, or outsmart bad guys, feels no different than watching a male superhero in action. The only female qualities about her are her oiled pigtails and her intense maternal love for her stepson Joe. When Joe commits suicide, in a context of other suspicious deaths, Edie's grief throws her into a bloodhound-like investigative mode.She is reluctantly assisted by the area constable, who alternates between finding Edie exasperating and attractive. Edie gets into all sorts of trouble, as she finds out more and more about what's really going on in her hunting grounds. And she's up against some very scary people.The action is non-stop, yet has a slow-motion feeling. Edie moves cautiously through tense situations, observing her surroundings minutely, like the patient hunter she is.I really could imagine I was in the Arctic, reading White Heat. I could almost feel the icicles forming on my nose hairs, and taste the seal stew and blood soup that Edie is so fond of eating. The plot is complicated, but eventually all the pieces came together and I think I got it. The characters are very well drawn, with some delightful eccentrics among them.I enjoyed this book, and look forward to stalking more bad guys with Edie.
Haven’t enjoyed a book this much in a long time. Very well written, great detective story, subplots everywhere, bad guys under every rock, and a lot of really interesting information about the Inuit and their culture. Looking forward to reading the others.
This is the story of Edie Kiglatuk, a native of far off, underpopulated Ellesmere Island, a large island with few inhabitants, mostly Inuits. Edie is half Inuit, half qalunaat (white), but feels herself wholly Inuit. She is a hunting guide, teacher and has never been away from Nunavut. However, looking for leads she flies to Greenland and is surprised at the size of Nuuk. She is befriended by a young woman, another Inuit, who shows her the ropes about getting around the large city of Nuuk. Edie has never been to such a large town.The book begins when Edie is guiding two white men on a hunting trip. One of the men is killed, a shooting accident? Edie thinks not. But she is not believed. She is only a woman. Edie has been married, divorced, no kids. Her stepson, Joe, is the love of her life. He is planning to become a nurse. Edie is proud of him wanting to help his people. Then Joe commits suicide. He had no reason to. He was not depressed, he was ambitious. He was like a son to Edie, the son she never had. She is thirty-three and trying to get away from alcohol abuse. And she is winning the fight. But all this might set her back. Joe's alcoholic mother blames Edie for all this. She stole her husband, her son. Edie is bent on knowing the truth of all this. Does desolate Craig Island have hidden treasures beneath its ice and snow?Another character is Derek Palliser. Derek is part Inuit, part qalunaat, and part Cree (an enemy of Inuits). He feels as though he is put together with left over and unneeded parts. Derek is a police sergeant in another tiny Inuit town, a distance from Akisaq. He has problems with some of the Inuits who are at war with different family members. He is in love with a Russian lady, an artist, who is just using him. Derek is studying lemmings, he would have liked to be a biologist, but he couldn't afford a college education.Edie is a gutsy lady who tackles life unafraid. She wonders about what happened, these characters to die for an unknown reason. And she is determined to find out the truth.The writer's words pictures Ellesmere Island and the surrounding islands very realisticly, very poetically and brings readers into this fierce, harsh, snow and ice covered country. The far north is bleak, the air is cold and clear, this land has its own beauty.The reader is introduced to Edie's Aunt Mattie, a great airplane pilot, when she is not drunk, ex-husband, Sammy, who comes to visit Edie on a regular basis, his dominent older brother, the town mayor, Old Koperkuj, who wants nothing to do with the white world.Edie thinks about these characters having weaknesses, drugs, alcohol for example. But she pauses to think that she is not free from weakness, so who is she to judge.This book is filled with adventure and is set in a part of the world I am interested in but am unable to visit. Edie is full of courage, takes no foolishness from others, is determined to live life on her own terms, an admirable character. So get in touch with the Inuit world. Read the book.
I love reading about ordinary people in different cultures. I was pleased to get a glimpse of how Inuit live and how they see themselves and people from ‘the south,’ meaning anyone south of the Arctic. It was for me a problem keeping some unfamiliar names of people and places straight, but I could have written them down. This book was interesting enough for me to want to read another by the same author, M. J. McGrath.
