Lou is a woman looking to understand herself, to find direction and meaning in life. Her job on Cary's Island and her connection with the bear allows her to find a connection with herself, with the world around her, and her place in it. It's absolutely a controversial book and will not be for everyone. I don't even really know if it's for me! But I connected with Lou's journey for self-discovery and I found myself at the end feeling contented, like there is something in this book that I can come away with too.
