danarama 's review for:
I think (like a lot of other reviewers it seems) I was a bit deceived by the book's blurb and marketing. I knew of Blair Braverman a bit from online stories about her as dog musher and the book's description lead me to think that would be a big focus of the book. Dogs, adventure racing, endurance, etc.
Instead, however, the book is primarily Blair's introspections about her relationships and life in small town in very northern Norway. On the bright side, it's very very well-written and I'll read her future books too.
CW: she grew up a young woman in male-dominated sports and locales, and throughout her life experienced the gamut of harassment through to sexual assault. Parts of her story are harrowing, especially when her tone is neutral, almost blasé about it.
