Sick Heart River

“Sick Heart River” is John Buchan`s most powerful novel and his last, completed days before his death. It was published posthumously in 1941. Buchan`s rich descriptions of the rugged Canadian Northwest Territories are influenced by his real-life voyage down the Mackenzie River in 1937. At that time, Buchan was Governor-General of Canada. The main character, the lawyer and politician Sir Edward Leithen – perhaps the most autobiographical of Buchan`s characters – has been diagnosed with advanced tuberculosis and has been given a year to live. A former colleague, American John S. Blenkiron, requests help to find his niece`s husband, who appears to have flown from his very successful financial career to the Canadian north. Leithen agrees to help.
