Goodreads blurb:
In Sawgamet, a north woods boomtown gone bust, the cold of winter breaks the glass of the schoolhouse thermometer, and the dangers of working in the cuts are overshadowed by the mysteries and magic lurking in the woods. Stephen, a pastor, is at home on the eve of his mother's funeral, thirty years after the mythic summer his grandfather returned to the town in search of his beloved but long-dead wife. And like his grandfather, Stephen is forced to confront the losses of his past.
Touch introduces you to a world where monsters and witches oppose singing dogs and golden caribou, where the living and the dead part and meet again in the crippling beauty of winter and the surreal haze of summer.
I first heard about this book through Jason from theheavyblanks. He is constantly raving about how amazing this book is and his enthusiasm for it really makes me want to check it out. Every time I go to my local book store I search for this book, and they never have it. So I might have to cave and finally order it online. Also, this book is by a Canadian author and I would really like to read more Canadian works.
