Yawn. This is the story of the deforestation of the North American continent, from its settlement in the 1600s. I read about the first 100 pages and dropped it. Maybe the fact of it being a recent mini-series made me feel like I was reading a screen script. I think I'd read previous books by the author (Shipping News) but I have no record of doing so. I found the writing plodding, the detailed descriptions endless and the characters uninteresting. Looking at another several hundred pages, I decided there were other reads to pursue.
Published: 2016 Read: did not finish 2020 Genre: Historical fiction
