I want more going of age stories like this.
The title of this book made me think I was about to read a funny book about how “spunky” girl had made her way in the arctic. Nope. No. Nah.
Instead I just read a memoir about one woman’s journey of accomplishing a nearly impossible task: learning to protect herself in this world that makes it clear that to be a girl means to be constantly in peril. Said memoir just happens to be set in northern Norway.
Braverman slices a place for herself into the world around her and it was an absolute pleasure to witness it.
