This was great. I read The Snow Child several years ago (though apparently it's not marked on my Goodreads), and I really enjoyed both of Eowyn Ivey's books.

Allan Forrester is leading a three-man US-government-organized expedition into the wilds of the Alaska Territory, traveling upstream along the Wolverine River. As the men travel, they push through the difficult landscape that had stymied earlier attempts at traversing the region and move into a part of the country where myth and reality seem to blur--where tribes famed for their cannibalism roam, and where the boundary between human and non-human begins to muddy. Back at the ranch, Allan's wife, Sophie, is the most alone she has ever been; but as the months pass, she also begins to have a story of transformation.

As I said, I really enjoyed this book. At the beginning, I was really unsure of what I would think of the epistolary/mixed-media format, but I ultimately found it really interesting. I really appreciated how all of the characters in the novel, really, had meaningful arcs, from Allan and Sophie to numerous smaller characters.

I loved this book. I loved Sophie's story perhaps more than Allan's.

Oh, so glad you liked this. I really loved it ... and especially enjoyed the epistolary format. It's on my F2F book club list for March.
