Recovering from cancer treatment, an Edinburgh antiquarian bookseller who has only ever travelled via reading decides to make one big journey while he is still fit enough, to British Columbia on the trail of an early settler he believes might have been his runaway grandfather – a Shetlander who went on to become important in the embryonic ‘Indian Rights’ movement. Flying over the Rockies he meets a Canadian woman, so beginning a relationship that carries them deep into the interior of the province and its complex history.
