'Eggers' most fun work of fiction, maybe also his most substantial' Herald
Josie has run away. She's abandoned her job and civilisation and flown to Alaska with her young kids. On arrival she hires an RV, lights out for the territory and finds herself more lost than she's ever been in her whole life. Neither five-year-old Ana nor eight-year-old Paul question their mother's wisdom (or indeed her midlife-crisis-cum-breakdown). Instead they take the forest fires and lightning storms, the gun-toting strangers and friendly loners, the freedom and terror of the wilderness in their strides. They know that at some point they'll be heading for home. If only Josie believed that too . . .
'Eggers renders it with such passion and good humour, and describes the 'land of mountains and light' in such stirring, lustrous prose. Can be seen as the mirror image of Eggers's brilliantly dystopian The Circle' Guardian
'Gleefully defies classification. Classic Eggers' The Times
'An engaging storyteller, with a sure sense of character and a keen eye for the bizarre ' Financial Times
'Highly enjoyable' Sunday Times
'One of our era's most sensitive chroniclers of American unease' Evening Standard
