After five years buried like a mole amid the decaying maps and manuscripts of an historical institute, Lou is given a welcome field assignment: to catalogue a nineteenth-century library, improbably located in an octagonal house on a remote island in northern Ontario. Eager to reconstruct the estateâ s curious history, she is unprepared for her discovery that the island has one other inhabitant: a bear. Louâ s imagination is soon overtaken by the estateâ s historical occupants, whose fascination with bear lore becomes her own. Irresistibly, Lou is led along a path of emotional and sexual self-discovery, as she explores the limits of her own animal nature through her bizarre and healing relationship with the bear. A daring and compelling novel, Marian Engelâ s Bear won the Governor Generalâ s Award for 1976. From the Hardcover edition.
