A review by raechel
The Indifferent Stars Above: The Harrowing Saga of a Donner Party Bride by Daniel James Brown

dark informative sad medium-paced

4.5

This was an absolutely fascinating read about a horrible historical event. I realized I knew almost nothing about the Donner Party, and this book really walked the line between informative and narrative description. We follow Sarah Graves, a young, recently married woman following her family west on a doomed trek.
