I saw another review use the word “bittersweet” and I think it’s a perfect description of this book. Deep sadness and loneliness paired with mystical wonder and tenderness. The ending did feel rushed a bit to me and I have some lingering questions, though I know that’s also the point.

The MCs of this novel live as homesteaders in 1920s Alaska. They hunted and fished wild animals for food and fur. Some may find these descriptions very disturbing.
