Weaving together the true life historical expeditions of Ada Blackjack and Robert Bartlett with a contemporary fictional story, How to Survive in the North is a unique and visual narrative journey that shows the strength it takes to survive in even the harshest conditions - whether that be struggling for survival in the Arctic in the 1900's or surviving a mid-life crisis in the present day.
This is a worthwhile read, both because of the story and its meta-story about loneliness and endurance. This is the kind of historical fiction I want to see people writing, because it also challenges the reader to understand why they find it compelling in the first place. Read Full Review
