True North
True North | Kimberly Kafka
5 posts | 1 read | 2 to read
For six years Bailey Lockhart has lived alone in the Alaskan bush, supporting herself from the cockpit of a floatplane. She is the only white woman in a land owned by the local Ingalik tribe; her closest neighbor is a fellow bush pilot and activist named Kash. Bailey and Kash are drawn to each other, but their fiercely independent natures keep them apart.When two Easterners hire Bailey to pilot them into the bush, a series of events is set in motion that will upset the delicate racial balance of the land and lead to violence. As the truth behind the couple's arrival becomes apparent, the refuge Bailey has created for herself shatters. Forced to face the demons of her unresolved past, she is given a chance to free herself at last from the secret that haunts her.Marked by spare, resonant prose and imbued with an indelible sense of place, True North tells a powerful story of adventure and survival. It is a welcome debut by a gifted new voice in literary fiction.

The most recent book set in #Alaska that I have read. (I had to recycle the picture because I gave the book away.) #letstravelaugust @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @OriginalCyn620

Pickpick

This was between a pick and a so-so for me. It was full of interesting information about native Alaskan culture and the tensions between natives and whites. But the romance element was overly predictable and the villains weren‘t fully fleshed out people. Finally, the pacing of the ending, rather than merely speeding up as is common in a thriller type plot, seemed rushed and superficial, with many questions left unanswered.

keithmalek Any relation to Franz? #NominativeDeterminism 5y
Lcsmcat @keithmalek The author bio calls her a “direct descendant” of him, but doesn‘t specify the relationship. And the unanswered questions weren‘t “Kafkaesque” so much as “I‘ve no idea how to wrap this up.” (edited) 5y

#LyricalApril #true One of my all-time favorite songs but it's true that it has been *a day* ?and I am running behind on everything so I went for the easy win & looked up true on my Goodreads stacks. These 6 books have true in their titles or subtitles. I have read & enjoyed all of them except for Stranger in the Woods ("...the last true hermit") which is in my #BOTM #TBR stack. There's a mix of genres here. ??
