Critical Praise

"An enormously satisfying first novel about the dreamers and schemers who flocked to Alaska at the turn of the 20th century. . . . In the end, Brown's impressive debut is less about the search for gold than the search for self."

——Gregory Cowles, New York Times Book Review "Peter C. Brown's robust saga . . . is the richest kind of storytelling."

"Told with old-fashioned brio and dead-eye skill, The Fugitive Wife gives us everything we could ask for in a novel: romance, high adventure, diamond-cut prose, and a story that traverses the great American landscape."

——Brady Udall, author of The Miracle Life of Edgar Mint
