Into the Wilderness (Wilderness, #1)

by Sara Donati

The moonlight lay like a quilt of blues and pearl-grays over the woods and the hills, painting the village in stark lines.

So vividly done.

pair of loons paddled past with their eyes blazing like rubies, each with a fuzzy chick nestled comfortably on a checkered black-and-white back.

Donati does a wonderful job describing all the nature in the wilderness.

his skin was the deep color of wild plums in August, his hair and beard like mottled fleece, his hands great overused tools.

And as well, the characters as they are introduced to the story.

‘Grief will not recall thy father to thee, but by thy conduct thou canst revive him to the world.’ ”

A way to keep memories alive.
