À propos de cet audio

In Alaska, 1970, being a teenager here isn’t like being a teenager anywhere else. This deeply moving and authentic debut is for fans of Rainbow Rowell, Louise Erdrich, Sherman Alexie, and Benjamin Alire Saenz. Intertwining stories of love, tragedy, wild luck, and salvation on the edge of America’s Last Frontier introduce a writer of rare talent.

Ruth has a secret that she can’t hide forever. Dora wonders if she can ever truly escape where she comes from, even when good luck strikes. Alyce is trying to reconcile her desire to dance, with the life she’s always known on her family’s fishing boat. Hank and his brothers decide it’s safer to run away than to stay home - until one of them ends up in terrible danger. Four very different lives are about to become entangled.

This unforgettable audiobook is about people who try to save each other - and how sometimes, when they least expect it, they succeed.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"...this is an exquisitely drawn, deeply heartfelt look at a time and place not often addressed. Hitchcock's measured prose casts a gorgeous, almost otherworldly feel over the text, resulting in a quietly lovely look at the various sides of human nature and growing up in a difficult world." ( Booklist)
"Using alternating narratives, debut novelist Hitchcock deftly weaves these stories together, setting them against the backdrop of a native Alaska that readers will find intoxicating. The gutsiness of these four teens who, at heart, are trying to find their places in the world and survive against challenging odds, will resonate with readers of all ages." ( Publishers Weekly)

Les plus pertinents  
This book deals with such heavy and complex issues through the eyes of young people trying to navigate their circumstances with the painful weight of reality, with the childlike innocence of their emotions. It is at times sad, and painful and at other times, full of hope. The story weaves through the lives of a range of characters, all connected in one way or another, and takes us through a snapshot of history that impacted Indigenous peoples across generations.

The story is beautifully written and the narration was great. Loved the characters and how raw their experiences were.

Would definitely recommend!
