This family saga unfolds against the backdrop of the infamous gold rush. Alice comes from a family of poor farmers, her family always struggling to survive, never dreaming of anything more. But when her older sister's husband strikes gold in the Yukon, everything changes for Alice – she joins the prospectors besieging the Klondike. Thus begins her journey to riches against the backdrop of snowy landscapes. Alaska is flooded with crowds of newly minted prospectors, and the local Native American population is relegated to the roles of porters and cooks. Smart, determined, and, most importantly, deeply dissatisfied with her life, Alice is willing to do anything to escape poverty again, even if it means losing someone's life. A hundred years later, her great-granddaughter travels the same route, hoping to restore justice and, despite the passage of time, to somehow atone for the tragedy that occurred during the gold rush. Ariel Janikian's "Prospectors" is based on the true story of her own ancestors, and by delving into their complex lives, she attempts to understand the history of America as a whole and the eternal, yet no less relevant, questions of kindness and cruelty, strength and greed, love and forgiveness, choice and justice.
