An interesting read. It's beautifully written, and I definitely felt transported to the time period and to the Canadian wilderness. 

However, she does fuck a bear. So there's that. Lol

Someone mentioned it so I tossed in an ear bud while I was doing chores and listened to it. I am not even sure what to make of it. Found it boring and disturbing at the same time. Not my kind of book.
