Nature is beautiful, but few have the fortitude to live amongst it. "A Mountain Year: Nature Diary of a Wilderness Dweller" is a combination memoir and art journal from Chris Czajkowski, a woman who sought to dwell in the wilderness of the vast forests of British Columbia. Reflecting on her time in nature, she vividly describes her experiences, and hopes to pass on what she saw to readers and she does it well. "A Mountain Year" is a solid recommendation to any who want to experience British Columbia but can't make the trip.
