Hoping to read a book set in every Canadian province and territory. Looking for suggestions for books set in Nunavut and NWT. (Please not Yukon, I've read three books set there this year already).
Lost In the Barrens is set in the NWT. I reread it recently and, aside from the use of the word Eskimo, it holds up shockingly well through a modern lens. It’s also as exciting as it was when I read it in school

I hesitantly recommend Late Nights on Air, set in Yellowknife. Its my favourite book EVER, but it’s definitely a book where basically nothing happens. I think you either love it, or you don’t want to finish it.
