“Even the dead tell stories.”
You think that once a person is gone, they no longer exist and they have no future. But that’s not true. Their legacy will always live on, and their unfinished business will simply be passed to their remaining loved ones. No one’s story ever truly ends, as is the case with Einar, recently deceased father to Sig and Anna.
The time: late nineteenth century-early 20th century during the Gold Rush.Tthe location: the Arctic Circle. Einar moved his family to the Arctic Circle in hopes of getting rich on gold. Months turned to years and his family continued to stay there, though no gold ever came. Eventually, Einar gets a job weighing gold, and at that time he comes in contact with a bear-like man. Years pass and this man shows up hours after Einar dies, saying he has unfinished business with him. Sig and Anna must take responsibility to deal with this man’s problem.
And what of the gun?
Why I picked it up: It was recommended to me as a 'must read.'
Why I finished it: The book sucked me in from the very first line. I didn't know a lot about the Gold Rush during that time, and I was also intrigued by the concept.
Who I'd give it to: Anyone who wants a quick read with great characters and a unique plot. Fans of historical fiction and back-and-forth timelines would love this, as well.
