review 1: This is a gripping tale of adventure, love, greed, and ignorance, set during the gold rush era in Canada and Alaska around 1900. It is told from the point of view of a woman from England who marries an American and then reluctantly partners up with three other men to stake a claim in a very remote and dangerous wilderness area. Like so many wannabe miners of that day, they were totally unprepared for what lay ahead.
review 2: A story about a group of mismatched adults who venture into the Alaska wilderness to search for gold. Based of factual information and hearsay, the story ends up to be a tragic one. These people get caught up in the myth of instant wealth and happiness and ultimately lose their lives in their desperate attempt to achieve both. I thought th... moree story line a bit trite, laden with over-zealous description and not enough character development. less
