This was really excellent. It's a very sweeping novel, centered mainly around the European settlement and "development" of the New England/Maritime area, although the action does spread. I really enjoyed reading about places that are somewhat familiar to me from my time in Nova Scotia. At the same time though, I found the book incredibly difficult to read at times. One of the families runs a lumber business, and with the benefit of knowing the future, it's very obvious they're rushing headlong into environmental destruction. The overall message of the book is discouraging I think, although there is a note of optimism at the end. There are people trying to fix the problems, but I wonder if it's going to be possible.
