Reviews

I didn’t just love this book, I became obsessed with it [. . .] I could neither breathe nor move until I got to the end. I’m not sure a book has ever made me so furious, so thrilled or so devastated, often in the course of the same chapter. The characters were flawed and vulnerable, strong and naïve, and Hannah has delivered a masterclass in all the different ways love can both save us and destroy us. She is an absolutely lyrical writer [. . . ] she perfectly captures and evokes the majesty and splendid isolation of Alaska and it feels a privilege to have journeyed there with her. This is a story that will stay with me for a long, long time.
Great characters, great plots, great emotions, who could ask for more in a novel?’
Beautifully written . . . packed with action and emotion
Movingly written and plotted with the skill of Greek tragedy. You'll keep turning the pages until the last racking sob
