Reader comment
I found this book really slow to begin with - and although the settler town and bleak landscape were compelling, I didn't find the characters endearing. And then bang - it gripped me and I was caught up in a story of fugitives, mysterious communities, Native American trackers, disappearing girls and freezing cold, unforgiving weather.
