Set in the Alaskan landscape that she bought to stunningly vivid
life in THE SNOW CHILD (a Sunday Times bestseller, Richard and Judy
pick and finalist for the Pulitzer Prize), Eowyn Ivey's TO THE
BRIGHT EDGE OF THE WORLD is a breathtaking story of discovery set
at the end of the nineteenth century, sure to appeal to fans of A
PLACE CALLED WINTER. Lieutenant Colonel Allen Forrester receives
the commission of a lifetime when he is charged to navigate
Alaska's hitherto impassable Wolverine River, with only a small
group of men. The Wolverine is the key to opening up Alaska, and
its rich natural resources, to the outside world, but previous
attempts have ended in tragedy. Forrester leaves behing his young
wife, Sophie, newly pregnant with the child he had never expected
to have. Adventurous in spirit, Sophie does not relish the prospect
of a year in a military barracks, while her husband carves out a
path through the wilderness. What she does not anticipate is that
their year apart will demand every ounce of courage and fortitude
of her that it does of her husband.
