After 43 days, I am calling it. I can‘t push myself any further. I tried the digital arc that I received, then I added the audio, then I added a print copy, in hopes that I would be able to push thru. I love this period of US History, but the slow meandering plot just did me in. Also, at this part of the book, some things were added to the story that I felt just slowed it down further and didn‘t make sense with where things were going. I read 👇🏻

intothehallofbooks the last few chapters and, honestly, I wish I‘d have stopped trying weeks ago. Many people love this one, so don‘t take only my word for it. It just sadly wasn‘t the book for me. Thanks to Knopf for allowing me to read this one. I love Dust Bowl stuff and it stinks that this one didn‘t work out for me. 1d

It doesn‘t always work out when authors try to wrap up everything beautifully with an explanation of the deeper meaning, but she does this wonderfully! I loved the ending!

Also loved reading about Genoa, NE, my grandparents‘ old stomping grounds 🥰

What an incredible read! Although this book will not be for everyone, I personally loved it. The book explores themes of loneliness, freedom, acceptance, and love, all happening in the beautiful and often brutal natural landscape of Alaska.

The ending wasn't quite what I expected, but having reflected on it for a few days now, it really was a perfect ending for this story.

BarbaraBB Thanks for the heads up. This one has been nominated for #CampLitsy25 more than once so changes are we‘re going to read it. 5d
Addison_Reads @BarbaraBB it would make a great book for discussion for #CampLitsy25. Even if some people might not connect with it, it still has so much in it to explore and talk about. 5d
BarbaraBB I‘ll remember that when voting! Will you be joining us? 5d
Addison_Reads @BarbaraBB I haven't recommended any, but I was hoping to join in the reading and discussions once the votes are in. 5d
BarbaraBB I am glad you will! 4d
