It's 1954 in the
small town of Jasper in the Canadian Rockies. Bears roam the streets tipping
garbage cans, and deer eat flowerbeds. When Jenny and Edward meet a crusty
yet endearing man named Fraser McKillop, their lives become entwined with
the romance of the fur trade and stories of Sherlock Holmes. They set
out on a quest to solve a true mountain mystery.
This novel
will appeal to both adults and teens and begins with a chance encounter
between a retired schoolteacher and a young man in Old Quebec City. They
discover that they have met before, long, long ago. The young man begins
to think back to that summer and so begins this beautifully written novel:
"But today on this high plateau, when the sky is blue and the air
is scented with pine, at this spot where giant fingers can walk right
up, step-by-step, to the sky, maybe these mountains really are the great
folded wings of the earth, and maybe we can go back to that last Saturday
of the summer. So on this perfect morning, I let the great folded wings
unfurl, and fly back to when I was a boy."
