An Indie Next List Notable Book for October!!
In 1607, intrepid explorer Samuel de Champlain and his companions struggle to establish a toehold on foreign soil, while warding off the deadly sickness scurvy.

In alternating narratives, master storyteller Bill Gaston bridges this divide in an illuminating story of survival, love, friendship, and feast.
Bill Gaston is the author of several much-praised story collections and novels. In 2002, he was a finalist for the Giller Prize and the inaugural recipient of the Timothy Findley Prize, awarded by the Writers’ Trust of Canada.
