DID NOT FINISH

Well written but insufficiently concrete -- didn't care enough about the author and no confidence as to where the plot is going. Love a unique historical drama though -- interesting period / concept.

A book of incredible deprivation and physical pain as the girl wrests with spiritual pain. This is not a book of wilderness adventure and rarely even of wild beauty. The wilds are an onslaught and every moment feels threatened close to the edge of death. But the book is certainly a feat and I am glad to have read it.
