I saw another review use the word “bittersweet” and I think it’s a perfect description of this book. Deep sadness and loneliness paired with mystical wonder and tenderness. The ending did feel rushed a bit to me and I have some lingering questions, though I know that’s also the point.

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.

I loved this story, I was hoping all the way through the book that Garrett and Faina would be together, but I am very disappointed that Faina left like that - I was hoping Garrett and Faina would become wilderness hermits together, like Faina's family. Other than that it was a perfect book, followed in the direction I wanted it to go :)
