Über diesen Titel
"The encounter was so sudden it took my breath away, and for a single moment I stood frozen, staring into the grizzly's eyes. It was so close I could reach out and touch its shaggy bronze fur."
Dolly Faulkner has many heart-stopping moments of terror and anxiety, living much of the time truly alone in the Alaskan wilderness. But she is not lonely, as the awesome space and beauty of the mountains fill her with appreciation of all things of nature.
Dolly Faulkner came to Alaska as a young woman with the dream of living in the wilderness. Forty Years in the Wilderness is a true reality of carving out a homestead in the Kilbuck Mountains near a minor hotsprings that the regional Native corporation is now trying to claim. She is now a senior citizen, still living in the wilderness after the death of her husband. Her struggles and adventures continue, so she has many more stories to tell.

The storytelling of the author is 5/5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The author Dolly has a great talent for bringing the stories of her life & struggles in the Alaskan wilderness to life. She no doubt is a strong woman with the necessary skills not just to survive in the harsh conditions, but to truly make a life for herself and her family.
My favourite scenes in the book are the ones in which Dolly and Jillian go out into the wilderness together to trap, hunt and forage.
However, there are themes of domestic & child abuse throughout this book that are very hard to listen to. The opportunity position herself against this behaviour at the end and share a number/place where victims of domestic abuse in Alaska can turn to in order to help readers who might be going through the same was missed.
This book also contains racism towards native people throughout.
Great storytelling
