A Daughter of the Snows


Leído por Don W. Jenkins

(4.1 stars; 58 reviews)

In Jack London's first novel, he tells the story of Frona Welse, a strong and interesting heroine, "a Stanford graduate and physical Valkyrie," who heads to the Yukon gold fields after creating a stir in her hometown by being strong and forthright and by befriending the town's prostitute. In the course of her adventures, she finds herself at the distaff point of a love triangle. This novel contains very overt racial and gender stereotypes and as such reflects the attitudes growing in society at the time it was written. It is the practice at LibriVox to record works as they stand, without judgment. - Summary by Don W. Jenkins (8 hr 34 min)

VIVID DESCRIPTIONS


(4.5 stars)

London lived several lives, but it is obvious from his stories that he preferred the great frozen north. Less bitterness and more joie de vivre are evident. Chapter xxv is as gripping as any that one is likely to encounter.

good listen

(1 stars)

If you've ever happened to read any of my reviews, I try and be a brutally honest as I can. I can usually find a high note to end with. Even accounting for the year it was written, and the subject, it was extremely dull. If it wasn't for my OCD, I would have dropped after the second chapter! at one point it ALMOST seemed like it had a purpose, but then fell back into a chasm of ennui. From the beginning, there's no cohesion. The characters are painfully unlikable. There's just no flow at all. I do think the reader did a great job with the voices and his read, although I'll never understand why he decided to read this story. Maybe he assumed that since it was Jack London, it might be worth reading. It was like a bad harlequin novel, but without the passion, plot, reason, or a painting of Fabio holding some damsel in his arms! Quite simply a waste of my life. I'll never get those countless hours back again! But thank you once again for the great narration.
