Enter the Alaska wilderness—where only the strongest survive. The Sun Catcher is a powerful portrait of a man who considers a life without risk as not worth living. At once both a fascinating adventure story and a vivid account of a family that rejects conventional living, The Sun Catcher is a work of grand scope and lyric power. Following a band of malcontents on their hazardous years-long trek deep into the Alaskan wilderness, the saga tells the story of the uncommon visionary Jack Houlihan and his indomitable wife Eula Lea who lead their family and followers on a dramatic quest to leave civilization behind. The band’s odyssey leads them through a landscape both splendid and deadly where wolves, bears, and natural disasters take their tragic toll. The death of the family matriarch presages the story of Caitlin who as an adult will struggle to survive in a contemporary world for which her wilderness childhood never prepared her. The story of the nomadic band is one of harrowing adventure unfolding across a magnificent landscape, while that of Caitlin is one of struggle, heartbreak and cultural loss. The Sun Catcher is a journey of discovery. Author Hugh Mahoney paints a stunningly complex portrayal of a man and his family as they face the joys and perils of the great Alaskan wilderness.

Those sections about living in the arctic winter are every bit as exciting and richer in specific detail than anything I ever read in Jack London. How else would I know that at minus 50 degrees gas is no more flammable than kerosene? The ghost town section is another one of my favorites, especially the part where Dobson finds the gold hidden in a hundred-year-old outhouse. I appreciate the meticulous use of language as applied to describing the smallest details, which elevates those details into iconic significance. Sun Catcher is a wonderfully created world as well as a dazzling construct of imagination.

The Sun Catcher Hugh Mahoney 9781533029805 Books Reviews


I just finished "The Sun Catcher" and found it superb. Written with authority and obvious loving insight, it is at once compelling, funny, honest, and dramatic. I found it constantly enlightening. In a larger structural sense, the character of Jack reminded me of a mid-twentieth century, adult Huck Finn -- who " lit out for the territories" in a never-ending search for self-independence, constantly chaffing against authority, but imbued with an indomitable spirit, the courage of a pioneer and the soul of a poet. Excellent.
The Sun Catcher is both an adventure and a rich literary novel. It could easily be read twice, at least, once for the dynamic story and again for the complexity of the characters and their responses to a most unusual life. This would be a great book club choice, full of issues worth discussion.
