review 1: Rachel came to visit a writing class I took at Naropa, and she read an excerpt from this novel (then a work in progress), so it was satisfying to finally read the whole work in published form. The plot is streamlined & tight, but this book is much more a constellation of extremely fine details that make the reader's experience vivid & immersive. It's always a good sign when I don't want to leave the company of the characters as a story ends, and this was one of those books. And there's some masterful craftwork of writing here, too. I'm excited to see where Rachel goes from here, as a writer, and what she writes next.
review 2: This novel is a visceral experience seeped in realism. The narrator Anna's reserved voice hides an undercurrent of emotion as potentiall
... morey treacherous as the remote Alaskan setting. The pace is tense and riveting. (Confession, I actually gasped out lout at one point in suspense!) While reading, I felt as diminutive and isolated as the keeper of a lighthouse flanked by massive mountains. A brilliantly written story I highly recommend! less

Wonderful book of self-exploration with insights into how both sexes deal with their past and guilt.

Great book! The ending was a little disappointing, though.
