To The Bright Edge of the World by Eowyn Ivey

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.

Wow!!

A very special book. The beautiful writing, clever plot, and fascinating characters weave a satisfying spell that kept me enthralled all the way through. I was sorry to see the book come to an end.
