I traded a sunny summer weekend to explore Alaska n the 1970s. Harrowing and unputdownable story where the landscape is as vital to the narrative as the characters. I loved The Women by Kristin Hannah when I read it earlier this year. This was as equally engaging.
Slow but thoughtful read, set in Franz Josef during Covid. Landscape is used to mirror the emotions and physical limitations of the protagonist’s post cancer surgical journey. The authenticity of the narrative draws from the author’s own experiences of cancer during covid, so while presented as fictional it also felt autobiographical.
Australian crime drama. Gives an evocative sense of landscapes of the Northern Territory and highlands of Victoria.
Great crime thriller you won’t want to put down.
While it’s a best seller I wasn’t completely gripped by it. A bit slow at times but an ok read.
