Stunning Book..Atmosphere, Characters, Twists/turns!
September 22, 2018
I loved this book! It embodies everything I enjoy and appreciate in a good novel: atmospheric setting, interesting characters, unique story, and intelligent insights into human nature. Since I grew up in northern MN, and enjoyed Mindy’s first book, I was eager to read this one. The Duluth setting, along with the Boundary Waters, was very familiar and realistic. In fact, the Boundary Waters almost becomes a character with its twists and turns, mysticism, and seasonal changes. The book addresses universal questions as to human behavior, but goes beyond nature vs. nurture. It’s hard to describe how this book engaged me on different levels: mental illness, descriptions of nature, and thoughtful, open-ended questions about “doing the right thing”. In summary, all I can say is “Wow!
“
I really wanted to like this book
October 22, 2018
After reading Mejia’s last book, I immediately pre-ordered her next. I’m sorry to say I found it disappointing. I like her writing quite a lot and the setting was vivid and real. The characters fell a little flat, as if they were only pawns to enact the story. The main female character just didn’t react in a credible manner. Her every action seemed impulsive and self-destructive. The plot wasn’t totally logical and the ending even less so. Nothing about the two main characters and the actions they took lend any hope for a happy future. The story just didn’t work for me.
Not Enough Boundary Waters
September 28, 2018
LEAVE NO TRACE is about a boy who suddenly appears after being missing for ten years. He walks out of the Boundary Water Canoe Area in Northern Minnesota, one of the most pristine wilderness areas in the U.S.
Lucas Blackthorne’s father, Josiah, is still missing. Lucas gets in trouble for breaking and entering an outfitter’s store, attempted robbery and two counts of aggravated assault on the owners. Lucas is institutionalized because he can’t or won’t talk about where he’s been or where his father is.
Maya Stark, a speech pathologist at the mental facility, is assigned the case. Gradually we learn that Maya was a former patient at the same facility. Eventually he says, “I know you.” We learn what that means later, but at least she’s got him talking.
Maya works at getting a search party to find Josiah Blackthorn. Dr. Mehta, her superior finally agrees, but Lucas isn’t comfortable among all these people and Dr. Mehta gets hurt. The search is cancelled.
Maya decides to take matters into her own hands, risking her career and possibly being charged with a felony.
Mostly we get Maya’s first person account of what happens in the story, but once or twice, Josiah speaks for himself. He loves Lucas more than himself, and he teaches him how to survive in the wilderness, but we’re not sure if Lucas actually knows where Josiah is or if he’s still alive.
Maya was also abandoned by her mentally ill mother and she wants to know what happened to her; she begins to suspect Josiah Blackthorn, once she learns Josiah and Lucas had stayed in her mother’s cabin for a time, hence the above statement, “I know you.” Maya looks a lot like her mother.
Author Mindy Mejia makes a valiant effort at describing the BWCA, but she should’ve tried harder to make it a character in the story. It’s a beautiful place, but it can kill you if you don’t know what you’re doing. It’s called the Boundary Water Canoe Area because motorized vehicles are not allowed and I imagine they feel the same way about technology in general. It’s essentially a string of lakes, extending all the way into Canada, although it goes by a different name there. I chose this book because it was set in the BWCA, but I have a feeling Mejia didn’t know it as well as she should have. She gives credit to lots of different people in her acknowledgments, and I imagine they’re the source of her descriptions. She does mention fellow voyagers who know how to make a mean “bear bag” so we know she did stick her toe in the water. One source she does mention is A YEAR IN THE WILDERNESS: BEARING WITNESS IN THE BOUNDARY WATERS by Amy and Dave Freeman.
