From the best-selling author of The Snow Child, a thrilling tale of historical adventure set in the Alaskan wilderness.
In the winter of 1885, Lieutenant Colonel Allen Forrester sets out with his men on an expedition into the newly acquired territory of Alaska. Their objective: to travel up the ferocious Wolverine River, mapping the interior and gathering information on the region's potentially dangerous native tribes. With a young and newly pregnant wife at home, Forrester is anxious to complete the journey with all possible speed and return to her. But once the crew passes beyond the edge of the known world, there's no telling what awaits them.
With gorgeous descriptions of the Alaskan wilds and a vivid cast of characters - including Forrester; his wife, Sophie; a mysterious Eyak guide; and a Native American woman who joins the expedition - To the Bright Edge of the World is an epic tale of one of America's last frontiers, combining myth, history, romance, and adventure.

Well written and well read. It kept me interested the whole time. This was our book club book, and I had only listened to a little over 2 hours by the time our book club met. It is not like me to finish the book after I missed the "book club deadline," because it is time to move to the next book. However, I was intrigued so I listened every night thereafter until I finished.
Worth going back to even after I missed the "book club deadline." 😉

I enjoyed all the different perspectives and having the museum curator also a part of the story. I think it would’ve been a little bit better if something had happened, instead of just a bunch of little things. Maybe I am the one missing the point.
The performance was good, however the main male character did sound, or remind me a little bit of Hannibal Lecter. LOL
Interesting.
