De piedra y hueso
Cournut, Bérengère
An almost lunar landscape, apparently timeless. White stretches to infinity. It is the extreme and beautiful Great North. It's cold, very cold. And wind. Snows. Everything here is fragile. Including the life of its inhabitants. Above all the life of its inhabitants. One night the frozen ground unexpectedly cracks. That shouldn't have happened, not on this moon, not at this time. Uqsuralik, a young Inuit, barely has time to get out of the igloo and watch her family disappear into the darkness: they have been left in one ice sheet, she in another, an insurmountable crack, which grows by the second, separates them. Alone or almost -Ikasuk, her father's best dog, is by her side- from her, she has two options: walk or let herself die. To survive in radically hostile conditions in the heart of the infinite white of Arctic space, Uqsuralik will have to call on the help of other humans and also certain spirits, who will guide her in an unsuspected shamanic vocation. An initiatory journey in extreme conditions, where the adolescent becomes a woman and the woman an old woman, and whose initial journey to reunite with her family will take her beyond the immensity of the Arctic space, towards a vast and hitherto unknown inner world. that reveals to him his belonging to a barely decipherable whole and his brotherhood with each one of the living creatures.
