A Discovery Of Strangers
A Discovery of Strangers is a story—based on true events—of love and innocence, murder, greed and passion set within the terrifying, fragile Arctic landscape. In 1820, John Franklin’s small group of British officers and Canadian voyageurs, on their first Expedition to search for a route through the incomprehensible North, encountered the Yellowknife Indians—and Greenstockings, fifteen-year-old daughter of Keskarrah, elder of the Yellowknife, met young Robert Hood, son of a Lancashire clergyman. Wordless, they devise a language of their own as their two worlds clash.

Rudy Wiebe was born on October 4, 1934, in an isolated farm community of about 250 people in a rugged but lovely region near Fairholme, Saskatchewan. His parents had escaped Soviet Russia with five children in 1930, part of the last generation of homesteaders to settle the Canadian West, and part of a Mennonite history of displacement and emigration through Europe and Asia to North and South America since the seventeenth century. In 1947 his family gave up their bush farm and moved to Coaldale, Alberta, a town east of Lethbridge peopled largely by Ukrainians, Mennonites, Mormons, and Central Europeans, as well as Japanese, who ended up there during WW II.
