Synopsis of Caribou Island
En medio del paisaje salvaje de Alaska, el matrimonio formado por Irene y Gary se encuentra a la deriva. Deciden construir una cabaña en un rincón remoto de la isla para cumplir un viejo sueño de Gary. Irene sospecha que el plan de Gary es el primer paso para abandonarla, y pronto comienza a sufrir jaquecas y le asaltan recuerdos de un trágico pasado familiar. Cuando el duro invierno llega sin previo aviso, la pareja se ve sometida a una tensión insólita. Su hija mayor, Rhoda, intenta ayudarles aunque ella misma está atravesando una crisis personal. Caribou Island cuenta una tragedia demoledora, una historia ambientada en una tierra hostil a la vez que grandiosa. La novela explora la conexión vital con el entorno y sitúa a los personajes en un paraje animado, pero ni siquiera la idílica alianza con la naturaleza ayuda a los personajes a escapar de una amenaza terrible y constante.
