​If you pick up one book this year, make it this one. A love letter to life, nature, and the kindness of strangers. Written by a woman with heart, a knowledge of the world around her so vast, an adventurer like you’ve never known. This is Caroline Van Hemert’s memoir THE SUN IS A COMPASS. Let her take you to Alaska and beyond.Hers is a powerful, gripping like you are on the trip with her, 4,000 mile journey you cannot believe, but you will be rooting for her and her husband all the way, starting in the Pacific Northwest to Alaska, through rivers and the open sea, rough terrain, snow, and glaciers, as they explore the great wide open by foot, skis, rowboat, and canoe.A spellbinding magnificently told story of discovery, the capacity of strength, about two people who define what it means to follow your dream. Nature comes alive through the waters, mountains, birds, animals, and all that they encounter. You will never take the fresh air around you for granted after reading THE SUN IS A COMPASS.
Warning: Do not read in public if you don't want strangers to see you crying. I was crying three minutes in to the book, and cried several more times while reading this book on two long flights.I picked up this book because I was familiar with Caroline's chickadee research. The book was about so much more. I feel like books come in to your life when you really need them and that was the case with this one for me. I couldn't put it down.
I have loved wilderness adventure stories since I was a kid reading (and rereading) Caddie Woodlawn and My Side of the Mountain; The Sun Is a Compass is a fantastic addition to the genre. I would never dream of trekking 4,000 miles, as Van Hemert and her husband did, from the Pacific Northwest to the Alaskan Arctic, but reading about how --and why! -- they did is totally gripping. From the details of the food they packed (Snickers, Crisco, and ramen noodles all figure prominently in their meals) to the people they met and animals they encountered along the way (an aggressive bear, a flock of trumpeter swans, an enormous herd of migrating caribou) -- I could not put this down. It's beautifully written, carefully observed, and an amazing testament to endurance in the face of rough weather, hunger, and marital irritations.
I received an advance copy of the book. I don't usually finish books I'm asked to write about. I opened this one because Caroline Van Hemert is an authority on chickadees (specifically, the problem in Alaska of so many chickadees having badly deformed bills). So I started the book, and although she wrote very little about chickadees, I could not put the book down.In 2012, Van Hemert and her husband journeyed from Bellingham, Washington up the Inside Passage via rowboats he had built, and then on to the Arctic Ocean and through the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge on foot, skis, and pack rafts, with a couple of opportunities to use canoes for stretches--they did the entire 4,000 mile journey on their own power. They carried their supplies, beforehand setting up a few boxes to ship to themselves via the USPS to small communities along the way.I was fully drawn into the hardships they endured, the splendid beauty they witnessed, and the thrilling wildlife they encountered, from scary bear stories (they decided ahead of time that lugging a gun would be more weight than it was worth) to touching encounters with baby hawks that they could not rescue and goslings that they could. Imagine being within an arm's length of a caribou herd, or quietly watching wolves move along their path below.Whether you love stories about birds and other wildlife, the Alaskan wilderness, epic journeys involving mountain climbing and negotiating treacherous waters in small, hand-powered craft, or young love, The Sun Is a Compass is simply splendid.
This book is part love story, part bird biology, part epic continental adventure. It's a rich blend of memoir, science, and lively descriptions of people, places, and feelings across seascapes and landscapes from Washington State to Northwestern Alaska.It's about a young couple and their life-changing journey that carries them self-propelled by row-boat, ski, foot, packraft, and canoe across northwestern America. The author, Caroline Van Hemert, is an Alaska-born and raised PhD scientist. Her husband, Pat Farrell, is an Alaskan "man's man" who can build anything from spruce bark canoe in the wilderness to custom homes in Anchorage. The two fell in love with each other in wilderness and tested themselves on the scale of journey that very few in today's modern world have done.Caroline Van Hemert is equally adept of painting verbal portraits of her family, friends, and husband Pat, as she is at explaining the complicated migratory and physiological ecology of the birds she finds all along the way from Bellingham to Kotzebue.Other adventure books often seem introverted, self-aggrandizing, or faux-modest and I often can't finish reading them. This book is honest, open, and wonderful. There's so much to it, that it's worth reading twice—personally, I liked it better the second time.
The Sun is a Compass is an adventure story. It's a true story of an incredible journey that is dangerous across Alaska. I always like this type of story because the characters always learn something valuable about themselves. It's a great story. I enjoyed it. Thanks to NetGalley for an arc in exchange for an honest review.
Caroline and her husband Pat take an unimaginable journey from Washington to the Arctic Circle. through places that I am not all that familiar with. I was both impressed and in awe of the pure fortitude to finish what they started. I enjoyed this book, and picked it because I was a huge fan of Wild by Cheryl Strayed.I received an uncorrected advance copy of this book in kind for my honest review. My advice is for the finished copy to include a map, I was able to look up most of the route they took, but a map would be helpful to the reader. Also, the book refers to birds a lot, a chart of the birds would be a nice touch.
