This is one of the most gut wrenching and horrific stories I’ve read. I found myself moved to tears many times placing myself as a young woman in the shoes of Sarah and her companions. The author wrote beautifully of the scenery in which the party found themselves, I could clearly see places I’ve never been (though I had to reference google maps a handful of times). This story is not without bias from the author, but no narrative non-fiction truly can be. This book has left me with a lasting impression of a story which I knew little about before.

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.
