Get the Yukon bug!

This is a wonderfully warm, funny and honest account of the trials and tribulations experienced by a young English couple relocating to the fascinating wilderness of the Yukon. In spite of the sometimes unrelenting harshness of the climate and the obvious culture shock, this couple showed courage, endurance and an unswerving belief in their dream to live in the Yukon, and I love the way the author manages to retain his sense of humour even under the most difficult circumstances! This book has inspired me to learn all that I can about the Yukon and hope one day that I can make my dream a reality and move up there. Beautiful book - highly recommended.

A Great read!!!

What a ride this book is! I read it in two days flat which is a record for me. I use to live in Whitehorse, Yukon and reading this book brought back those happy days and the excitement of living in the north. I fully recomend this book to anyone who just wants a fun read and dream of adventure
