Very personal story of life in a rural Alaskan coastal village. Great cross-cultural, cross-generational presentation and an entertaining tale.

3.0 out of 5 stars
A worthwhile visit,
By Carol (Kodiak, AK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Derevnia's Daughters: Saga of an Alaskan Village (Afognak) (Paperback)
"Derevnia's Daughters" is a non-fiction account of a pioneer family living near Kodiak, Alaska from 1889-1964. The story was taken mostly from letters, diaries and interviews of the family involved. It tends to drag a bit toward the end, but the early descriptions of life on a remote Alaskan island are very enjoyable. I live in Kodiak, and it was fun to read the story and pick up bits of history and ancient gossip. Even if I didn't live here, though, I'd recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars
connections to my past,
By Meghan Bishop (Beaverton. OR) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Derevnia's Daughters: Saga of an Alaskan Village (Afognak) (Paperback)
I remeber when I was 8 or 9, my grandmother kept correspondance with Lola Harvey to assist her in writing this book about my ancestors. It was such a huge event in our house when the book was published and our signed copy was delivered. On the cover was a photo of my great-grandmother and the shall she is wearing is now mine. When I was old enough to finally read this book, I was captivated by the detail and affection Harvey used. It opened my eyes to an era I will never see and because of it I can understand and relate to my grandmother's stories of her childhood even better

I am extremely pleased with my book. Not only is it in perfect shape, but it is signed by the author. Much better than I expected! Thank you, rate this a 6 star!
