I so love this book.
The way she captures different characters speaking, the way she describes the wilderness with just enough, but not too much.
The way JL is weak and empowered. I so wish I could read more about JL.
I highly recommend this book to every woman on the planet.
I love it. I've read it every year for the past 14 years.

The book is about a camp cook in a Geology camp in the Northwest Territories of Canada.I worked in the Bush in Canada for eleven years and everyone I know who has lived in those camps finds this book extremely evocative of the camp experience. I read this book cover to cover in one sitting. I don't think you need to have lived that life to enjoy the story, however. It's an excellent piece of writing.
This spare novel of a young woman who infiltrates an all-male geologists' camp in northern Canada uses the technique of rotating narrators pioneered by Faulkner in As I Lay Dying to achieve a wonderfully multi-dimensional evocation of the main character. Though certain of the peripheral characters, notably Jerome and Milton, never break free of caricature, the novel is made profound, and rereadable, by the strength, honesty and uniqueness of J.L. I completely fell in love with her. You will too.
