My clever niece gave me this book for Christmas, sending it to me directly on my Kindle. It was a wonderfully efficient way to give a gift to someone always on the go. I was so pleased with the gift and have enjoyed reading Voyageurs.
The author is from Scotland and lives in Glasgow, which surprised me, as I assumed she was a Canadian. It is very evocative of the landscapes and the topography and I thought that the scenery was a normal part of the authors life. It is certainly a big part of the book and I wished I had a good map at hand. Fortunately I am familiar with the areas described but I wished I had a good map.
It is a rollicking good tale that takes place in Upper Canada between 1809 1nd 1814. Margaret Elphinstone is the author. The story is somewhat unbelievable but I enjoyed it thoroughly.
