Pull my head off.'\u003cbr\u003eLou is a librarian at the local Heritage Institute who lives a mole-like existence, buried among maps and manuscripts in her dusty basement office.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe chance to escape the monotony of her city life comes when she is summoned to a remote island to inventory the late Colonel Jocelyn Cary's estate. Hoping for an industrious summer of cataloguing, Lou heads north.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eColonel Cary left behind many possessions, but no one warned her about the bear.
