by Rosamund Lupton
This book was very well written, but extremely painful to read, and I mean that sincerely. If you are like me, you will read this book wrapped up in a warm blanket in front of a fire, cupping a mug of hot chocolate — even if you read it in the summer. It’s winter in Alaska, with icy roads, mountains...

I consider this to be a good book overall that I wouldn't have any problems recommending to most readers. I think ...
I received a copy of this book from the publishers and this is my honest opinion of the book. Yasmin and her daughter Ruby have made the long journey from London to Alaska. On a whim Yasmin has travelled to confront her husband, Matt. He has ostensibly travelled to Alaska to film a wildlife docume...
