Eowyn Ivey is on tour for her paperback edition of “To the Bright Edge of the World.” Her second novel, set in 1885 in the same gorgeous Alaskan landscape as her first novel, “The Snow Child,” follows Colonel Allen Forrester and his wife to military barracks in the far forlorn North. Forrester is commissioned with navigating the impassable Wolverine River, the key to Alaska’s huge reserves of gold. All previous attempts have been met with tragedy. Forrester’s pregnant wife, Sophie, is worried: she does not want to stay in the barracks while her husband traverses dangerous terrain, and her pregnancy is showing signs of trouble. The same magic that illuminated “The Snow Child” threads through the pages of “To the Bright Edge of the World,” earning Ivey additional recognition as a skillful writer of historical fiction and gloriously detailed novels.
