orchidd's review

adventurous emotional reflective

4.0

the description of

the death of lady, the horse

was excellently, horribly paced—very memorable. i found myself uninterested in a lot of the descriptions of the trail but strayed’s ruminations on her mother (particularly the fox on the trail and the section where she describes feeling anger at her mother, especially her anger that she died when strayed was young, keeping her trapped a child) will stay with me

5.0

Just an absolutely astounding book that I wholly enjoyed cover to cover. Strayed’s writing is incredibly beautiful, eloquent, and entranced me with visions of her journey and life. Despite the descriptions of how hard the PCT is, her experience has only made me want to hike it more.

Truly a fantastic book, I would recommend this to anyone!
