Why read it?
1 author picked Bear as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
My second favorite book was Bear, by Julia Phillips. I loved Phillips's previous novel, Disappearing Earth, which was set on Russia's remote Kamchatka Peninsula. Bear takes place in another remote location, an island off Washington state. It features two sisters, Sam and Elena, and their encounter with a bear. But that description doesn't do this book justice. Phillips has a true gift for creating a world that seems completely real--and yet, in this case, almost mythical. What does the bear represent? And how does it upend the sisters' lives? Definitely worth reading.
