This is a big literary meal, as it spans a time period of about 300 years. The stories of two lines of descendants stemming from two French settlers. One line engages in industrial logging, with its associated ups and downs. The other line intermarries with natives of Canada, and experiences the mistreatment by the European settlers that some might be familiar with. I listened to the audio version of this, and it would have been very helpful to have a dramatis personae to keep everyone straight. However, the story is engaging enough that I kept with it. The ecological message that breaks through at the very end is particularly satisfying.
