About this product
Product Information
Every year, millions of geese embark on a three-thousand-mile migration from their winter quarters in the southern United States to their breeding grounds in the Canadian Arctic. Intrigued by what he'd read about the birds' amazing annual journey, and desperate to emerge from a period of illness, William Fiennes decided to go with them. The story of his voyage turns out to be about a great deal more than geese. The arc of Fiennes's extraordinary trip is the backbone of a narrative rich in meditations on philosophy and natural science, and deeply perceptive in its descriptions of both physical and emotional travel.

Reviews
"Fiennes' awestruck observations about America and her natural wonders are gifts." --"USA Today" "An adventure that is out-and-out sublime in its language, its sights and sounds, and its meditations." --"The Seattle Times" "ÝFiennes¨ is wholehearted without quite taking himself seriously, and that is one of the qualities of this gifted author. He is lyrical, wry. . . . What greatly helps is prose so winged and acute that . . . it establishes the mystical connection it aims for." --"The New York Times" "Lucid, beautiful . . . Notions of home, homesickness and nostalgia are not often discussed in travel books, yet Fiennes explores them at length in passages that are always fascinating for their combination of scientific anecdote and emotional wisdom." --"Time Out New York", "Fiennes' awestruck observations about America and her natural wonders are gifts." -USA Today "An adventure that is out-and-out sublime in its language, its sights and sounds, and its meditations." -The Seattle Times "[Fiennes] is wholehearted without quite taking himself seriously, and that is one of the qualities of this gifted author.
