Publisher's Summary
Set in the Alaskan landscape that she brought to stunningly vivid life in The Snow Child (a Sunday Times best seller, Richard and Judy pick and finalist for the Pulitzer Prize), Eowyn Ivey's To the Bright Edge of the World is a breathtaking story of discovery set at the end of the 19th century, sure to appeal to fans of A Place Called Winter.
Lieutenant Colonel Allen Forrester receives the commission of a lifetime when he is charged to navigate Alaska's hitherto impassable Wolverine River with only a small group of men. The Wolverine is the key to opening up Alaska and its rich natural resources to the outside world, but previous attempts have ended in tragedy. Forrester leaves behind his young wife, Sophie, newly pregnant with the child he had never expected to have.
Adventurous in spirit, Sophie does not relish the prospect of a year in a military barracks while her husband carves a path through the wilderness. What she does not anticipate is that their year apart will demand every ounce of courage and fortitude of her that it does of her husband.

Outstanding narration
I loved The Snow Child and love Alaska so had to read this book. I had the hard copy as well as the audio but the narrators were so good I kept opting for the audio. Once again Eowyn Ivey writes a lovely novel - although it did not feel like fiction. Beautiful prose and I loved all the different narratives.

Struggled with this one
I loved snow child but just couldn't get invested in this book. I really wanted to like it and I'm not sure if it was narration or pace that made it difficult. Love the subject matter and will try others from this author.
