A different look into life in Alaska during WWI. A rare, lyrical read.

This book was interesting--but not recommended for readers who are unaccustomed to Kathryn Harrison's style of writing. Harrison has a tendency to include long passages of details that sometimes slows the story down; this can be either beautiful or annoying to the reader. But if you can look past the sometimes arduous chapters, the story is quite fascinating.
