I thoroughly enjoyed this book, written by an award-winning Australian author. She searches down a mystery of an immigrant woman in America who decides to walk to Russia from New York, via the Yukon and Bering Strait in the 1920s. An amazing story, lushly enhanced by lots of historical stories of the Yukon, Canada, and Alaska. It was a personal quest that turned obsession into fascination for this reader. Great read!
