Book excerpt: A Daughter of the Snows is Jack London's first novel. Set in the Yukon, it tells the story of Frona Welse, who takes to the trail after upsetting her wealthy father's community by her forthright manner and befriending the town's prostitute. She is also torn between love for two suitors. Steeped in the gold mining culture of the Yukon, A Daughter of the Snows also shines a light on the racism and sexism of its time, a dissonant note that reflects changing times and changing mores.
