About this listen

From the author of This Impossible Brightness comes a heartrending trek through grief, hope, and the Alaskan wilderness as a young woman seeks the truth that will heal her.

Eila Jacobsen is adrift, reeling from her father’s recent death and still suffering from the loss of her best friend. When invited to join a research trip to a remote part of Alaska, she takes the chance to refocus her life and perhaps unravel the mystery behind the dwindling caribou population.

But as Eila buries herself in data, she stumbles across something remarkable. Concealed in the pages of her father’s journal is a discovery with life-changing possibilities. So why was it abandoned?

Unable to ignore its potential, Eila ventures deeper into the Alaskan tundra in search of healing and answers. But she’s not the only one in need of a new beginning, and she’s not the only one looking.

Pursued across the landscape and haunted by secrets, Eila presses on, unearthing the regrets of those closest to her, and revealing the joy and forgiveness that bind them together.

Critic reviews

“At once mystical and firmly grounded in nature, North of the Sunlit River takes the reader on a journey into the Alaskan tundra. Jessica Bryant Klagmann’s characters are beautiful, flawed, and curious, their relationships rich and complicated, their secrets compelling. This book is beautifully written and unlike anything else I’ve read; I could not put it down.”—Suzy Krause, author of I Think We’ve Been Here Before
