5.0 out of 5 stars
First-rate historical fiction,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Discovery of Strangers (Hardcover)
This is an excellent fictional account of Franklin's *overland* expedition to the Arctic Ocean. Through the device of multiple narration, it presents us with both the Aboriginal and European perspective on the events. Wiebe did his homework: the novel is solidly based on the first-hand accounts of Franklin, Back, Hearne, and others. The influence of Faulkner is evident in narrative style, prose style and theme. Faulkner's great story The Bear was clearly an influence
