Book Description | In the pastoral community of Reddington, Vermont, during the harsh winter of 1981, Sibyl Danforth makes a life-or-death decision based on fifteen years of experience as a respected midwife -- a decision intended to save a child, a decision that will change her life forever. |
Editorial Review | “Few will escape the allure of the land and people [Michener] describes.... Alaska takes the reader on a journey through one of the bleakest, richest, most foreboding, and highly inviting territories in our Republic, if not the world.... The characters that Michener creates are bigger than life. ”—Los Angeles Times Book Review. “Always the master of exhaustive historical research, Michener tracks the settling of Alaska [in] vividly detailed scenes and well - developed characters. ”—Boston Herald |
