If you could get a sequel for any book, what would it be?
Two Old Women by Velma Wallis
Based on an Athabascan Indian legend passed along for many generations from mothers to daughters of the upper Yukon River Valley in Alaska, this is the suspenseful, shocking, ultimately inspirational tale of two old women abandoned by their tribe during a brutal winter famine.
Though these women have been known to complain more than contribute, they now must either survive on their own or die trying. In simple but vivid detail, Velma Wallis depicts a landscape and way of life that are at once merciless and starkly beautiful. In her old women, she has created two heroines of steely determination whose story of betrayal, friendship, community and forgiveness "speaks straight to the heart with clarity, sweetness and wisdom.
The book had a great ending, but I would love to learn a little more about these women. Maybe take us back to their childhood. You can see my full review at my place, Just Books.
It does sound like an interesting book. And knowing more about the younger years would be interesting as well.
