Why read it?
1 author picked Lost Mountain as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Although I happen to know that poet Anne Coray intended this to be an environmentalist novel (a town threatened with doom by a giant mining operation), this beautifully written story set in the fictitious town of Lost Mountain in remote Western Alaska is an example of how Alaskans come together in the face of threats to the beauty and natural wonder of our great land. It may be about the land, but it is the cast of quirky characters that makes it human.Ā
From Richard's list on real lives of Alaskansānot the idiots on reality TV.
