Qimmik

“For five thousand years, Inuktitut and the barking of the qimmiit have resonated in Nunavik. Life there is cruel. But that's what makes it beautiful. Precious.” Between the taiga and the tundra, a young Inuit couple from Nunavik discovers and learns to love each other. Accompanied by their dogs, the qimmiit, Saullu, and Ulaajuk, travel a continent that is still wild, all free and united. A few decades later, a lawyer is dispatched to the North Shore to defend an Inuk murderer whose victims are former police officers from the Sécurité du Québec. Her quest for justice will take her beyond what she had imagined. A true-life novel, Qimmik tells the story of a majestic territory that governments wanted to subjugate, it and those who inhabit it. Whatever the cost.
