“Dana Stabenow does two things very well and one thing not so well with this book. She blended two stories that took place a hundred years apart into a cohesive essay of life in Alaska. And, she was able to tell a gripping tale about how the lives of these two groups similarly dealt with deceit and human failings. What Stabenow did not do so well was to develop all of the characters so that they were easily recognizable. I had to make notes along the way to keep them straight.Too much work! With that being said, I still recommend the book.”
