Destination Kugluktuk
Boundless: Tracing Land and Dream in a New Northwest Passage
By Kathleen Winter
Jonathan Cape 264pp £16.99 order from our bookshop
Kathleen Winter was working as an itinerant writer, with three books of fiction to her name, when a friend called saying he had been offered a berth as writer-in-residence on a tourist ship. The two-week journey was to begin on the east coast of Greenland and proceed across the Davis Strait and through the channels of the Northwest Passage, ending in the Canadian settlement of Kugluktuk. The friend had to pull out. Would Winter go instead?
