Real vintage Proulx , spanning centuries and telling the story of the destruction of the forests and ecosystem of Canada and north America.
Using a device she used in Accordion Crimes she follows two families across the centuries. It’s not an easy read and it’s very sad although it does end on a slightly hopeful note for the world we inhabit. It is very well researched as you would expect and very interesting culturally both European and Native American. It took me a while to read because of the breadth and sheer numbers of characters but I was glad I persevered.

Oh thank you for this! I love Annie Proulx. The Shipping News is one of my favourite novels. I will look for this when I want to drink deep.

Isnt it though? I keep meaning to go back to this. I read the first 100 or so pages. I love her – Close Range and The Shipping News are particular favourites.
