Lesley Thomas’s
debut novel is "Flight of the Goose: A Story of the Far North". A
cross-cultural love story with Native, ecological and spiritual themes, it is
set in the Alaskan Arctic in 1971. This was a time of great cultural, economic
and environmental upheaval in the Far North, just as it is today. Read our Lesley Thomas

Seattle's independent Far
Eastern Press (http://www.fareasternpress.com)
published "Flight of the Goose", which has been endorsed by a wide
range of authors, journalists, Alaska Natives, well-known anthropologists,
scientists, shamans and environmentalists as well as general readers.
“Flight of the Goose puts a human face on the much debated
issue of oil drilling in Alaska's wilderness. This complex, thought provoking
and moving story of the people that live in the far north is a must read for
anyone that wants to know more about Alaska than is in the headlines. It should
be required reading for Congress.”

News from Small-town Alaska"

"The author accomplished two nearly impossible
feats. First, she managed to write very believably from both a female and male
perspective. Secondly, she also managed to write believably and simultaneously
from the perspective of a scientist and from that of a shaman (angutkoq)... I was
amazed at how believable and genuine it all felt." ~
OakShaman, top Amazon Reviewer
"One of the best modern novels I've
read...truly a great novel. If you enjoy stories about the conflict in
cultures, if you have ever liked Dickens, if you want to read about the effect
modern culture has had on the Inupiat and the environment of the far north, or
if you just want to read an incredibly well written book, get this one." ~
Lonnie Holder, top Amazon Reviewer
