Synopsis
It is 1937. Winter is taking hold and the long arctic night is beginning. A single engine plane crashes in the Alaska wilderness. Its three passengers survive--the plane's pilot, C. "Killer" Armstrong Wingate; Nuna Cunningham, seventeen-years-old, pregnant, and already a widow; and Rolland "Rembrandt" Martin, an ambitious artist from Manhattan. Rolland is the only one hurt. When he awakes, he is on a bearskin rug, wolf furs covering his body, and Nuna, granddaughter of a Yup'ik shaman, is chanting unfamiliar hymns into his ear. An ivory amulet rests on his chest. Sixty years later, the Phillips Museum is preparing a retrospective exhibit to celebrate Rolland Martin's art. He hires Connie Johnson, a young single mother, to ghostwrite an autobiographical sketch for the museum's catalog. Nuna is central to Rolland's story. Her mystical beliefs and shamanistic skills lead him into worlds he did not know existed. And only after he belatedly infuses his art with her universe does he achieve eminence.

    Unfortunately I received a damaged book, the item and the package both were damaged and it was clearly evident its appearance that it happened during transit. The seller was very understanding and gave me a full refund for the damaged book, though it was no fault of their own. Other than the damage, the book was as described, the quality and condition aside from the damaged spot was like new. The cost of the book was reasonable. I would definitely purchase from the seller again.

    Although this book was not as described, with no picture of it in the listing, the seller communicated well and quickly gave me a full refund while letting me keep it. The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.

From the prompt communication to the fast shipping, everything was handled with utmost professionalism. The item arrived exactly as described and was well-packaged to ensure its safety during transit. The seller was courteous and responsive, making the entire transaction smooth and hassle-free. I highly recommend this seller to anyone looking for quality products and excellent service.
