Bear by Marian Engel Editor's review

Bear Marian Engel New Canadian Library August 4 2009 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 estates curious history, she is unprepared for her discovery that the island has one other inhabitant: a bear. Lous imagination is soon overtaken by the estates 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.
