I haven’t had a chance to read this one yet but I’m getting lots of recommendations from friends and family: The Whale House: A novel of the Northwest Coast by Peter W. Andersen – “Based on actual events, The Whale House tells the story of Klukwan, Alaska, the legendary carvings that were created there, and how their immense beauty led the village into murder, madness, and war.”
