Adrienne LindholmReseñas

Deeply engaging memoir of a life entwined with the natural world. I love that it could be read as short essays over the author's life. I love that there are so many ambivalencies -- the struggle between preservation and utilization in national parks, the difficulties women face when deciding if they want to have children, the blending of values from progressive to conservative when living in a place that is so much more dependent on hunting for survival. Lots of really interesting questions to think about, and she does a fabulous job thinking about them. Also, does a wonderful job with the setting -- Alaska as experienced by someone who enjoys high level hiking adventures. Fascinating.
