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.

This book will truly stay with me. Beautiful, sweet, sad and haunting. Very much about love, which this book captured perfectly. The only thing keeping it from being a five is that I feel one element lacks clarity in a way that hurt the story just a little bit. Still, a beautiful read.

This book is very well written but as an animal lover I would not suggest it to others like me, as animals are murdered seemingly non-stop... not even swans are safe.
