RaveThe New York Times Book Review...[a] stunning and sharp book ... As both a storyteller and a stylist, Braverman is remarkably skilled, with a keen sense of visceral detail that borders on sublime. But her ability to draw readers into heart-pounding action sequences — from the 'perfect wave' of a sled dog team bounding across the snow to the disorienting rotor wash of tourist helicopters in a whiteout — is what makes the book so courageous and original as both a travel narrative and a memoir of self-discovery.
