Oh my gosh! I have been wanting to read this book forever and a day. I am going to try to fit it in.

Yay! I'm looking forward to seeing what you think about it.

Up to part two. So far so good. At first I had trouble with the timeline, but I am comfortable with it now. Also, I am wondering how far into the mystical/fantasy side of things this story is going to go. (view spoiler)[Is the old indian with the black hat going to turn out to be a raven? And what about the indian wife that is one with the fog? Will she have more of a role in this story? (hide spoiler)]

Finished. Loved it! Here are a couple of quotes from the book that I particularly liked: (view spoiler)["I can find no means to account for all that we have witnessed, except to say that I am no longer certain of the boundaries between man & beast, of the living & the dead. All that I have taken for granted, what I have known as real & true, has been called into question."

"They believe it is a thin line separates animal & man, Samuelson said.—They hold that some can walk back & forth over that line, here a man, there a beast."
