It's hard to review this because it's an elaboration of an oral tradition rather than a novel. I felt for the women and enjoyed seeing them overcome obstacles. The older man who came to look for them was an interesting character too. The rest were not very fleshed out. This was a unique read.

An enjoyable way to learn about Alaskan Athabascan ways of survival and old legends. It was a very fast read and a well told elongated legend.
