Sparse and beautiful prose. It was chilling at parts (like, I literally felt cold) and illuminated social issues with subtlety. At a couple points I felt like it dragged, but overall I really loved it.

A survival book without the survival. Beautifully written, utterly enthralling, but ultimately bleak. still loved it though.

In this bleak and vivid novel, a young woman escapes from a colonial settlement where starvation is almost guaranteed into a harsh and violent wilderness where she must survive using her meager possessions and her wits.
