In the summer of 1806, a young Orkney woman disguised herself as a man and signed on with the Company of Adventurers to work in what was then called Rupert's Land. For a year and a half, she hid her identity, her deception revealed only when she was about to give birth. In less than an hour, she turned from John Fubbister into Isobel Gunn. Very little is known about the real woman. Audrey Thomas takes the threads of Isobel Gunn's story and turns them into a compelling novel about an unusual woman and the effect she had on those around her.
