Descriptive and authentic writing - character development bothersome
The descriptions of Alaska and life in the Alaskan frontier were detailed and creative, and brought that region to life. The characters were similar - rough, scrappy, course and crude - perhaps mirroring the lives they lead. The main character, Tara, running away from the hurt and loss and perceived blame of her family - just didn't ring completely true. I felt that the author came close, and was very courageous to write the story from the lead character, a female, but sometimes she didn't seem real. The story highlights her bravery, courage and willingness to be successful against great odds, but at times her reactions were distracting against the detailed authenticity of the author's experience in that environment. I wanted to cheer her on in her quest and challenges, but at times just felt distracted.
