Some books by Jack London are enjoyable and classic, this isn't really one of them, but as it was one of the first, you have to let that slide a little bit. Another thing you have to let slide, right from the get go, is the idea of race that was popular in the time the book was published. Be prepared to see the Native peoples written well and with some respect, but have the main characters fill their talk with the superiority of the white race. The book is mostly about a the daughter returning home after an education away, finding her place with her wealthy father, just as it had always been. She is an adventurer, not a prissy character at all. Being a product of Alaska, she thinks nothing of doing what needs to be done, no matter what the outcome is to her physical condition. If you walk through your shoes in the middle of the wilderness, you walk on. Sitting and complaining about it isn't going to get you anywhere. The plot was mostly relationship driven, though there was some action involving rescue and crime. It felt very long to me and sometimes it lost my attention all together. After a while I began to wonder if I would ever get to the end of the book. I did make it to the end. I might try again some time, perhaps as part of a reading group or as a Jack London themed read.
