#Lunacy alaska movie

So we accept Meg the way she is, feisty and independent, as Ms. Meg is a little too independent for my tastes, but the Women's Movement may account for that, I'm old fashioned and not into the W.M., I like having men (one man)take care of me, but understand that there are women out there who feel entirely different, and as Meg is of a younger generation, I accept the character as written. She does change as the story evolves, and the mystery here that leaves us hanging is how she raised a daughter with such character and integrity. She still didn't ring any bells with me, but everyone reacts to life's blows in different ways and I am sure that there are some women in real life who would react to her man leaving her nearly penniless, with a small child to raise, as immaturely as Charlene's character did. We weren't supposed to feel sympathetic toward Charlene at the beginning of the story, she wasn't a very likeable character, it took the unfolding of her background and circumstances, what made her the way she was, to turn her into a sympthetic character. I disagree with both complaints, as there were several pages dedicated to each happenstance of Meg and Nate's couplings, and they were graphic enough for anyone that wasn't looking for porn. First of all, I was thinking that I could have done with a little less of the sexy love scenes, yet these other reviewers are complaining that there aren't enough, or that they aren't hot enough, I'm not really sure what their complaints are. This is such a visual book with wonderful descriptions of what must be an incredibly beautiful state, and beautifully written descriptions of the Northern Lights, that breathtaking phenomena of the Artic skies.Īfter reading all the other reviews (I read the book before reading the reviews, thank heavens, as I might not have bought it if I had read the reviews first!) I am completely puzzled at most of the reviews. Meg's father was a larger than life, Errol Flynn type character who supposedly just took off 16 years previously, so when his body is discovered in an ice cave on the nearby mountain, finding his murderer becomes a personal issue for Nate, who by this time, is heavily involved with Meg. Meg Galloway is the local bush pilot, picking up and dropping off passengers, packages and supplies in her tiny plane.

The town is peopled with characters straight out of a novel, most of them likeable, some crazies, some surlies and one in particular, most lovable. In an effort to keep himself stable, he transfers, as Chief of Police, to Lunacy, a tiny, aptly named town in Alaska.

Around the same time as the killing, his marriage fell apart and left him hovering on the brink of a complete mental breakdown. A part of him keeps insisting that he could have done more to save his partner, even though his real self knows that he did all that was possible.

What a cracker of a book and what a thrilling movie it would make! Nate Burke is a mentally fragile cop who was present when his partner was fatally wounded and he himself wounded.
