Can I give s book 6 stars? I loved this book. Yes, the heroine, a Canadian Eskimo, contracts TB as a child, but the book is about how her entire life is affected by being sent away for 6 years to a sanitarium at the age of 10. It is also about how the Eskimos are changed by the white man's culture, how the Eskimo once lived on the land, and there is also some very interesting medical information. Beautiful writing. Fascinating story. And some geography lessons as well if you care to look up the places mentioned on maps.
