"Aloha Wanderwell must surely be the most remarkable woman
adventurer to remain virtually unknown to history. This marvellous
book sets the record straight, even as it powerfully evokes a
distant era of travel when the survivors of the Great War set out
to go anywhere but home."
*Wade Davis, author of The Lost Amazon and The Serpent
and the Rainbow*
"Fink-Jensen and Eustace-Walden expertly parse Aloha’s journals,
films, and photos as well as press coverage and previously
classified government documents to bring readers along on the
adventures of an audacious and fierce young woman of the early 20th
century."
*Atlantic Books Today*
"Fink-Jensen and Eustace-Walden have compiled a remarkable
biography about the exploits of a young Canadian woman and the
charismatic man who guided her early career. In rescuing Aloha’s
life from obscurity, they have reintroduced her as a significant
and accomplished historical actor who was both a product and a
purveyor of her times."
*BC Bookworld*
"She was a young adventurer, ready to take on the world without fear.
Aloha Wanderwell, the book,
is a fascinating look at her travels and her other exploits. She may have slipped from our
collective memory for a few decades, but she is back."
*Times Colonist*
"Aloha Wanderwell recounts over a decade of non-stop adventure
(along tens of thousands of kilometres of "barely existing roads"
on several continents). All told, it's an impressive feat."
*Toronto Star*
