THE BEAR
In a nail-biter of psychological suspense told by a six-year-old in a voice reminiscent of ROOM, two small children are left alone at a remote island campground when their parents are attacked by a bear.
Algonquin Park consists of nearly three thousand square miles of wilderness situated 250 miles northeast of Toronto. It is a popular destination for campers, hikers, and canoeists. When in 1991 a couple who went on a camping trip there failed to return, friends contacted the police. Their partially eaten remains were found, with a large male black bear standing guard over them. There is no clear reason for what happened. Attacks by healthy black bears are extremely rare.
Claire Cameron has imagined what might have transpired if the couple had brought small children with them. Algonquin grabs you by the throat and will not let you go. Written by an author who has much experience of both wilderness survival and motherhood, it is a brilliant examination of how children help each other and themselves in such circumstances — a sort of rebuttal to Lord of the Flies.
Born in 1973, Claire Cameron grew up in Toronto. She studied History and Culture at Queen's University. She then worked as an instructor for Outward Bound, teaching mountaineering, climbing, and white-water rafting in Oregon. Next she worked in San Francisco for Pearson Plc before moving to London in 1999. There she was until recently director of Shift Media, a consultancy whose clients included the BBC, McGraw-Hill, and Oxford University Press. Her first novel, the taut thriller The Line Painter, is followed by the challenging and suspenseful Algonquin. Claire lives in Toronto with her husband and two sons.
