Sobre este artículo
New York: Knopf, 2007. Hardcover. Very Good+ in Very Good+ DJ. 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, 268 pgs. The Canadian government forcibly relocated three dozen Inuit from the east coast of Hudson Bay 1200 miles farther north to Ellesmere Island, the most northerly land mass on the planet--an arid and desolate place. Included in the group were the half-Inuit son of Robert Flaherty, the film maker who made the film "Nanook of the North" in 1922, Josephie Flaherty, and Josephie's two daughters. This is the story of their battle to survive.
Sinopsis
In 1952, the Canadian government forcibly relocated three dozen Inuit from their flourishing home on the Hudson Bay to the barren, arctic landscape of Ellesmere Island, the most northerly landmass on the planet. Among this group was Josephie Flaherty, the unrecognized, half-Inuit son of filmmaker Robert Flaherty, director of Nanook of the North. In a narrative rich with human drama, Melanie McGrath follows three generations of the Flaherty family--Robert, Josephie, and Josephie's daughters--to bring this extraordinary tale of deception and harsh deprivation to life.From the Trade Paperback edition.
