5.0 out of 5 stars Due North, May 2, 2000

This review is from: Due North: A Novel (Hardcover)

I was also captivated, and now haunted by this book. Although I lack the character this woamn had, I identified with her in so many ways. The scene of her husband getting mauled by the bear is forever engraved in my head. I can't believe it is out of print; this book should be required reading for everyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Woman's Life in Alaska Wilderness, January 21, 1998

This review is from: Due North: A Novel (Hardcover)

Mitchell Smith has written novels with tremendously varied settings. Stone City took place in a prison. This novel deals with a woman's life alone in the wilderness of northern Alaska. She lives there because she likes living there. Novelists are often cautioned to write about what they know best. Smith is neither a woman nor an Alaskan, but this book of an arduous life is fascinating, and seems very realistic. I highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unforgettable, January 20, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Due North: A Novel (Hardcover)

This was one of the best books that I've ever read. I was devastated when I lost my copy and found that it went out of print -- but Amazon located another one for me and I just read it again. The step class was even better then 2nd time. I read a lot of books and this is the first time that I'd like to contact the author.
