Product Description
This story of survival and isolation is based on a beautiful Athabascan legend from central Alaska. This is the tragic and shocking story—with a surprise ending—of two elderly women abandoned by a migrating tribe. They face starvation brought on by unusually harsh Arctic weather and a shortage of fish and game. Ten years after its first publication, Two Old Women continues to be a publishing phenomenon and has been translated into 17 languages, selling more than one million copies.
