Great historical fiction, I enjoyed reading about the lives in a period - Gold Rush - about which I knew very little about before. I loved seeing the struggles and resilience of the characters, and how the times might have changed, but the struggles and feelings we endure and experience remain the same.
The writing has a great rhythm, with many parts where I was genuinely holding my breath to see what happens to the characters.
It packs a while lot in relatively few pages.

I really enjoyed reading this book. I thought the author did an amazing job with both the characters and the story line. The theme of the story is surrounding the American Gold Rush. This was a well written and touching story that I could not put down. I can't wait to read more from this author. I highly recommend this novel to history/historical fiction readers.

A great story about the Gold Rush in America. It tells such a touching story in the mid 1840s. I was up late reading and recommend it to everyone.
