Publisher's summary

Where there is wonder, there is love - an unforgettable novel of the beauty and terror of the Alaskan wilderness, from the author of the million-copy international bestseller, The Snow Child.

'I read with my heart in my mouth, filled with wonder' Rachel Joyce, author of The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry
'An enthralling novel about the endurance of love, the power of forgiveness and the savage, irresistible allure of wild places' Paula Hawkins, author of The Girl on the Train

Birdie's keeping it together, of course she is. So she's a little hungover on her shifts, and has to bring her daughter to the lodge while she waits tables, but Emaleen never goes hungry. It's a tough town to be a single mother, and Birdie just needs to get by.
And then Birdie meets Arthur, who is quieter than most men, but makes her want to listen; who is gentle with Emaleen, and understands Birdie's fascination with the mountains in whose shadow they live. When Arthur asks Birdie and Emaleen to leave the lodge and make a home, just the three of them, in his off-grid cabin, Birdie's answer, in a heartbeat, is yes.

Out in the wilderness Birdie's days are harsher and richer than she ever imagined possible. Here she will feel truly at one with nature. Here she, and Emaleen, will learn the whole, fearful truth about Arthur.

Critic reviews

'No one writes like Eowyn Ivey. Her voice is as enchanting as it is original and Bear Story may be her best novel yet. A compelling story of love and forgiveness, it is also a page turner, creating a sense of foreboding in the vast Alaskan landscape that Ivey evokes with such passion and precision' (Geraldine Brooks, author of YEAR OF WONDERS and HORSE)
