Chapter 1 | Jamie and Awasin The month of June was growing old. | |
It had been a year since Jamie Macnair left Toronto, the city of his birth, to take up a new life in the subarctic forests of northern Canada. | ||
Beside the shores of Macnair Lake the tamaracks were greening now after the winter's blackness. | ||
Out on the lake great loons cried shrilly. | ||
As Jamie squatted in front of the log cabin, helping his uncle bale up the winter's catch of furs, he tried to remember how he had felt on that day, a year past, when he climbed out of the train at the lonely frontier town called The Pas to meet his uncle. |
