My exact kind of book. A quiet woman goes to an isolated island in Canada to log the contents of a cabin. Also at the cabin, is a pet bear. The woman contemplates her life, her relationship to herself & love, and slowly bonds with the bear. 
Taboo as a way to explore the isolation of womanhood, great companion to Mrs Caliban (or more modern The Pisces)
