This unique ghost story, set above the polar circle in northern Norway, will take you into the mountain realm of eagles, and an angel. Michael, a disillusioned misfit from Florida, moves to Norway to begin a new life. With a teaching job at a college, he rents an old two-story log house on the shore of a fjord . . . and soon discovers that the upper floor is inhabited by the spirit of a young woman who died of consumption in 1917. Anna Sofia agrees to guide Michael, who has never seen snow in flat Florida, into the mountain wilderness which she loved as a girl. As they climb high above the timberline, as they bid farewell to the sun before months of winter darkness, as they skate on a mountain lake beneath the northern lights, and ski near a herd of reindeer, Anna Sofia leads Michael deeper into the wilderness, deeper into himself. The bitter boy is left behind; the clear-eyed man is emerging. Anna Sofia tells Michael that her dream is to stand on a mountain peak at midnight in June, when the summer sun will shine in the sky due north. But at that moment, she must leave him. He will lose the woman he deeply loves, and he will have to climb down that mountain alone. Michael will take with him, however, Anna Sofia’s final gift: a powerful purpose in his life, and the confidence that he can harness the sun . . . as he builds a far better future for today’s polluted Earth. This unique ebook contains 97 gorgeous photographs which follow the story chapter by chapter.

0 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Not much of a love story.... By Joleene Naylor I don't normally post bad reviews, but I feel the description to this book is very misleading.I picked this book up in a dollar store and was excited to start it. It begins well, Anna Sophia is an engaging character, the way she "reflects the light" is unique and interesting, and even Michael is pretty likable.Then, he starts to whine.At first it's about all the pollution - both physical and cultural - in Florida, his excuse for moving to Norway. I could deal with it as a motivator and a part of his character, unfortunately it never stops. From that point on the book is one long preach about how cars are polluting the planet, with a side of how television is evil and the implication that all of modern life is abysmal. Michael and Anna Sophia have the same conversation at least three times (I gave up reading it after the third round) in which she says "you're killing the earth! you should save it!" he says "Someone will" and she says "Why don't YOU?" Their constant "discussions" on the terrors of all mankind is at the expense of what COULD have been tender moments between the characters, until I didn't even care about the "love story" between them. Even their one and only Christmas together is a long whine about the horrors of jet planes, cars, deforestation, etc. etc. and from then on nearly every could-have-been touching moment is the same - Anna Sophia has a tirade about cars and Michael's narration is a long winded spiel on the "poison in the air" until I couldn't even stand Anna Sophia anymore and kept hoping she would evaporate.I will admit 100% that I would not have bought the book had the description inside presented it as being an ecology topic, which it doesn't. It makes it sound like a light romance and/or a "self discovery" type of story and alludes to angels (which I did not run into, excepting a brief passage where it appears Anna Sophia is "taken over" by one momentarily - though as I said, I gave up on reading it about 1/2 - 2/3 of the way through) Still, I don't object to a story with a point. The problem is this story makes the point and then makes the point and then makes the point and then KEEPS pounding it out over and over until it becomes a school lecture on ecology and saving the planet, rather than a novel.The writing style itself was pretty good. The descriptions were a little long, but I don't mind that, and the cultural information on Norway was interesting and seemed well researched, as were the photography scenes. (I gather from the author's bio that he has actually been to Norway) because of that, I might give another book by this author a shot, but only if it's on a different topic. Otherwise, I've had my fill of the "How can we go on pumping poison into our skies" lecture.
