4.5

I loved this book, the author’s voice is perfect for the high mountain valleys that she loves. I especially enjoyed the pure magic of the arctic chapters and the exploration of the earth as mother.

There is a particularly brutal description of familial sexual assault that snuck up on me. Important for the author’s story but it’s in stark contrast to the rest of the book.

Also I wanted more careful treatment of the indigenous peoples of this land. They are barely mentioned and not at all in the exploration of the history of her place.
