Told from the perspective of the last survivor of the Eskimo curlew -- a critically endangered species -- this is the story of this bird's solitary and perilous migration and search for a mate.
First sentence: By June the arctic night has dwindled to a brief interval of grey dusk and throughout the long days mosquitoes swarm up like clouds of smoke from the potholes of the thawing tundra.
