In one of the earliest works by the Scotiabank Giller Prize winner, Elizabeth Hay collects a series of reflections on life, identity, history, and love, drifting through her many homes — Yellowknife, Mexico City, Toronto, and New York City — to consider Canadian identity. Hay reflects on the idea of being Canadian — what it means, who we are, how do we act, how do we live — and compares it to the world around her in stunning detail, drawing the disparate locations together by their connection to the history of the early Canadian fur trade and our hearty adoration of snow. She writes of the heart of a country, the history of a people that live on the brink of identity. Genres Nonfiction Biography. Loading interface About the author. Elizabeth Hay 25 books followers.

Displaying 1 - 4 of 4 reviews. Paula Dembeck. This book is a great puzzle to me. This is a much earlier work first published in , which I admit I did not get at all or even like. It seems to be a combination of a number of disparate things: a personal memoir, a book about travel, a longing for Canada, various historical fragments on the explorers and natives of Canada, observations about fur, stories about the fur trade and musings on snow. The question for me is, what ties all these things together? Unable to decipher the answer to that problem, I am lost. She has left her husband and is nurturing a new love. There are fragments of stories interspersed with observations about family, friends and places she has lived and visited. I was determined to finish the book and I did. I have obviously missed something. While some parts on Canadian identity and race felt a bit dated I really enjoyed the writing, and thinking about cold, snow and being an outsider. Margaret Joyce.

This rather impressionistic,rambling book by Hay is lovely in its own way, but I had to stop before the end as its premise - frustrating and somewhat vague, was, I had to admit, just out of my reach. It was the perfect book - for someone else. Join the discussion. Can't find what you're looking for? Help center.
