And She Was

Sweeping across two hundred and fifty years and into the Aleutian Islands of the Bering Sea, the story explores Aleut culture, taboos, mummies, famine, conquest, and survival. It leaps forward to a lost woman, who more than any thing needs to understand the gray shades between heroism and evil, between freedom and bondage, between this place and the rest of her life.

Reviews

"Two story lines - one, a centuries-old Aleutian native secret passed down from woman to woman, the other of a contemporary young woman from the Lower 48 - converge in the remote fishing village of Dutch Harbor. Asides, like a brief history of graffiti, make it entertaining; Dyson's consideration of the deepest moral questions makes it compelling." -American Booksellers Association
