### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Left me wanting
  

*by T***A on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 29, 2022*

This book got very high reviews, and it left me wondering why.  It's well-written, and as you get to know the characters, you want to know more about them.  And then...the book ends.  In the middle of winter.  You have no idea what happens to the people in the book, or if the main character even makes it through the first winter homesteading.  I looked to see if there was another volume or something, but didn't find one.  Maybe the author was working against a deadline and ran out of time?  I don't know, but it felt unfinished, and I found it dissatisfying.

    Hard times!
  

*by B***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 24, 2022*

I really like the way she writes, but it was a little too graphic and gory for me. There was no tenderness or feeling.

    Harsh, Unglamourized View of Pioneer Life
  

*by E***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 3, 2014*

The main character is a widow who has traveled alone and seemingly poorly equipped to Oregon in the earliest pioneer days to establish herself as a settler in the wilderness.  She and the few other characters of The Jump-Off Creek are a taciturn lot, who communicate in monosyllabic ways whenever they briefly encounter one another.  But that type of personality is probably accurate to the almost hermit type of lifestyle, in which the simple solo life seems almost impossible to sustain, if one has any social inclinations..The main "character" of the book is the incredibly rugged pioneer life in which this handful of people are immersed. They are seemingly undaunted.  It is described in detail which Author Molly Glass has researched for authenticity..I can not imagine suffering through that lifestyle.  Her pathetically few belongings seem insufficient to live in the deep forest where freezing ice storms, bear attacks and wolves, as well as violent neighbors are everyday reality.  The snow blows through the spaces in her log cabin walls, her means of getting around is on the back of her touchingly spavined old mule, she has only one warm garment which is her deceased husband's old coat and gloves, she bathes infrequently, and the author describes the smell of the people in detail.  Death is a reality, viewed dispassionately.I was hooked into completely finishing the book, when it ended quite suddenly.  It would make a good movie...probably a silent film since there is so little dialog, and little exploration of the inner feelings of the characters, which must generally be ascertained mostly by observing their behavior.
