This book gets rave reviews so I feel like there is something wrong with me for not really enjoying it. The writing was good, yes, I definitely felt the stark beauty and the harsh dangers of Alaska. But I just found the whole thing so sad. I mean, I think that was kind of the point, in a story about the effects of war, about domestic violence, teenage pregnancy, illness, grief for lost loved ones. I don't need perfect happy endings all the time, even though this one did end on a slightly more positive note, but it was mostly just really bleak.
