Elle

Elle (Goose Lane Editions, 2003) by Douglas Glover
This 16th-century romp is nothing short of brilliant, according to the many readers who recommended it to Canada Reads. Bethany Gibson writes:
"It's brilliant. Lusty and scary and smart and energetic, a true stand-out in Canadian fiction."
Accolades: Elle scored the Governor General's Award for Fiction and was a finalist for the Commonwealth Writers' Prize.

Loved this book.  Didn't think I could like a book about a woman turning into a bear, but surprisingly, I really did.
