  • "In Rankin Inlet, a small town bordering the Arctic Ocean, the lives of the Inuit are gradually changing. The caribou and seals are no longer plentiful, and Western commerce has come to the community through a proposed diamond mine. Victoria Robertson wakes to a violent storm, her three children stirring in the dark. Her father, Emo, a legendary hunter who has come in off the land to work in a mine, checks to see if the family is all right. So does her Inuit lover, as Victoria's British husband is away on business. Spanning countries, generations, and cultures, Consumption is an epic novel of the Arctic, and a penetrating portrait of generational division and cultural dissonance."
  • "Consumption is an epic novel that brilliantly evokes the modern contradictions of the far north -walrus meat and convenience foods, twenty-four satelite TV and midnight sun - and leaves readers feeling charged and hopeful despite the circumstances it details."
  • "Born in the 1950s in the Canadian Arctic, Victoria grows up among the nomadic Inuit until, at the age of ten, diagnosed with TB, she is sent to a southern sanitarium, where she discovers the wonders of the modern world."
  • "Après avoir passé son enfance dans la toundra, depuis les années 1950, Victoria, 10 ans, est envoyée à Montréal, pour être soignée de la tuberculose. Lorsqu'elle revient parmi les siens, elle se sent étrangère. Devenue mère de famille, Victoria n'a jamais pu guérir de cet exil intérieur que personne ne peut comprendre. Premier roman."
  • "A child of the north spends six years in a southern sanatorium returns home to a changed world and there struggles to reconcile the new north with the old of her memory and the culture she has learned in the south."
