700 pages is a little much for this. It has potential it’s just way too long.
I need a minute to sort my thoughts out. It was brilliant, sweeping and unexpected. One to soak in.

This is a tough one. Ready yourself for the history and the heart of this history. Annie Proulx's writing draws the reader into the world, but her characters make you keep reading through the horror and heartache. I'm glad to have experienced this, though it will be years before I read it again.
Språket är för ordigt för min smak. Det blandas dessutom alldeles för många franska ord för att läsningen ska flyta på bra. Jag gillar inte heller de översvallande beskrivningarna.
This is a vast sprawling book. Covering nations, cultures and the clashes that result. Though I enjoyed this book I got lost in the details. There was so much to take in and a family tree and or a glossary would have been of a help. I also thought too much emphasis was placed on family relationships and not enough given to the effects of the settlers on the native culture and the environment. I think this book would have been better being two or maybe a trilogy. A difficult subject handled by a very competent writer. Though I enjoyed this book I much prefer her shorter fiction.
Großartig, episch, Game of Thones im Holzgeschäft. Liebe, Rache, Leidenschaft, und sterben müssen sie doch alle.
Long, detailed, sprawling, and yet choppy as lives and stories begin and end in a moment.
I'm exhausted but in a way that makes me feel like it was worth it.
