Brown did a masterful job of putting the reader into the time and culture of the Donner party, to such an extent that I was kept in suspense, rooting for all to survive, even though I know how the story ends.
History has much maligned the Donner party, often turning the story into a sick punchline, but Brown restored the group's humanity in a way that I found moving and inspiring. This is among the best survival novels I have read.

I’ve tagged this book as having graphic eating disorder content because there’s no better content warning tag in the system. This book may be triggering to those who have eating disorders due to graphic descriptions of starvation and the physical and mental effects of it.a_beautiful_soup's review
