Seller's Description

Synopsis

Miles McEwan has been hiding for years. No one has really got close -- no one except the ghost of the young man whose burnt and charred presence haunts him; a painful reminder of the fire that changed his life and scarred his face. But the past and the flames rise up like a Pheonix as Emma the girlfriend Miles left five years previously and Rachel the enigmatic 5-year-old daughter he never even knew he had arrive into the stark loneliness of his new home -- Ross River a place `lost everywhere but on the government maps`. But as Miles begins fighting the emotions that this painful reunion has brought and desperately pushing away any new opportunites a rampant fire starts which threatens to engulf the town and all its inhabitants. Pretty soon Miles is in a race to keep his family alive and is given a chance to relive that fateful day when so much that was good turned bad.

Synopsis
A runaway wildfire tests the mettle and reawakens the spirits of a battle-scarred firefighter in the Canadian author's latest (The Trade Mission, 2002, etc.).Four-fifths of a very good novel, this begins splendidly, with an incrementally detailed picture of hard lives in the Yukon wilderness (300 miles south of the Arctic Circle) in the remote town of Ross River ("We're the shit end of the stick out here"). It's a tough town indeed, where fire chief Miles McEwan (who bears disfiguring facial and bodily scars from old burns, along with equally painful memories) commands a hard-drinking crew of phlegmatically heroic firemen; wrestles with the aftereffects of an affair with hunting guide Margot Lemontagne and the hatred of her embittered current lover, Wade Fuerst; and wonders how to react to the unexpected reappearance of Alex, the woman whom he had loved and left before Margot, and the young daughter (Rachel) whose existence comes as a complete surprise to him. Pyper explores their intensifying interrelationships skillfully, filling in explanatory details with precisely timed flashbacks, and disclosing actions from the viewpoints of numerous involved souls, including all the aforementioned characters, the elderly couple who engage Margot's services and-quite imaginatively-a female grizzly bear who loses her cubs to humans and becomes, as much as does the spreading fire which provides the central plot
