Set in a Swampy Cree community on the western shore of Hudson Bay, The Victory of Geraldine Gull is about the struggle for survival. In prose as clear as a northern lake, Joan Clark weaves together biblical symbolism of the flood and salvation with native myth and legend, while offering a message of hope and the dignity of self-determination.

The Victory of Geraldine Gull was shortlisted for the 1988 Governor General's Literary Award for fiction. (From Cormorant Books)
