Having said that, I'm not sure whether the dialogue improved in the second half or whether I just got attuned to it more, but I enjoyed the last part. It seems well-researched and Goodhart brings the setting of the Klondike to life far more successfully than she does her characters. I also thought the plot was good, and I really enjoyed the ending which was sweet and touching, and Ida's character development throughout the book is reasonably good even if the supporting characters leave a fair bit to be desired.
Probably not quite recommended generally on balance, but worth a look if you particularly enjoy historical fiction and I may welltry well try more by Goodhart in the future.
[[Slave Girl by Jackie French]] is an excellent piece of historical fiction for younger readers. You might also enjoy [[Dragon Magic (Red Bananas) by Pippa Goodhart and Lesley Danson]].
