The prospectors : a novel / Ariel Djanikian.

Djanikian, Ariel, (author.).

Summary:

The middle daughter of struggling California fruit farmers, Alice Bush is accustomed to feeling inferior and destitute. When her elder sister's husband strikes a vein of gold in the Yukon Territory, Alice seizes control of her destiny by joining a wave of white settlers making the dangerous trek to the Klondike. By luck and circumstance Alice becomes tightly intertwined in her sister and brother-in-law's newfound fortune-- as well as the beginning of a generations-long family quest for wealth that unfolds against the icy Canadian wilderness and the booming oilfields of California. One hundred years later Alice's great-great-granddaughter Anna must grapple with moral conflict and questions of justice as she travels to the Klondike to bequeath her would-be inheritance to the First Nations peoples who paid the price for its creation. -- Publisher description.
