Textbook like but parts of it are very interesting.
Published by Reads for fun , 3 years ago
The kind of book published for already acclaimed authors, it has many stretches that are a bit dry. I guess Ms Proulx felt she had something she needed to share? The middle part of the story where it stays about a single few persons for long stretches were the best in my opinion. Probably best read by those interested in genetics of Canadian natives and botany of trees. I found the ending unsatisfying, probably because I read novels for entertainment. You do get your moneys worth, it is a very long story.
