I actually won a copy of this book off of a website (goodreads.com). Caribou Island is a book about a man, who is having some sort of midlife crisis. He lives in Alaska with his wife and has 2 grown children, a daughter and a son. The wife is having issues of her own. He buys some land on a nearby island and decides to build a cabin...by hand. The book goes from person to person and you learn a lot about the characters. You don't really like any of them though. It's character building yet you find yourself racing through the (very good) narrative to see what's going to happen. I don't want to give it away. The dialog is in the style that has no quotations...so it's a little tough to get into at first. I don't really enjoy that, but the book's good enough that you should be able to get past it. It's not a warm and cozy novel, but it is a pretty good book.
