–New York Times Book Review “Editor’s Choice” “Enormously satisfying. …In the end, Brown’s impressive debut is less about the search for gold than the search for self.” -New York Times Book Review "Storytelling at its best." -Denver Post "Peter C. Brown's sure and often lyrical evocation of the wild Alaskan coast speaks not only of knowledge but also of love." -Washington Post "This is an eloquent, memorable first novel, with high-powered characters whose prickly exteriors, created out of the need to survive, hide affectingly yearning and haunted souls." -Publishers Weekly "All about passion, whether for flesh or fortune, romance or adventure, this sweeping debut renders poetically the dynamics of desire." -Kirkus Reviews “[A] cinematic and artfully braided tale.” -Star Tribune “Vividly told…. Skillfully combines elements of history, suspense, and romance.” -Library Journal “This book was pure pleasure from first to last pages.” -Quail Ridge Books “A story of complex human emotions, and there are no villains. …Brown balances themes that will interest all readers.” -Pioneer Press “Extremely impressive.” -Anchorage Daily News “Few novels so successfully combine a compelling story with such fascinating historical detail.” -Elliott Bay Book Company
“A muscular tale of Alaska and the Midwest, with a compelling
heroine, a love story, a 'villain' you can't quite hate, and great
historical detail about the 'other' Gold Rush. A book that works for
readers of both genders." |
