Classic Canadian novel. A great story of a poor working class family set in depression era/wartime Montreal.

The twists in this book! The ending! One year later and there is still speculation on just what the last book is going to bring based on the revelations in the 6th book.

This wonderfully descriptive guide has been a great help to me, a newcomer to Oz, in identifying all the new birds I've come into contact with recently.

I LOVED this book :) The format of letters and telegrams exchanged is one of my favorite methods of telling a story, and it was done quite well in this book. A very touching tale with vivid characters and setting descriptions that made me want to get on the next plane to Guernsey! I hope this author keeps the stories coming - I will be watching for her next tale! UPDATE: Just read on Amazon.com that the author has passed away. Very sad.

I have the original 2002 edition, which is 663 pages; I'd like to read this longer edition as well. This is a terrific encyclopedia (and dictionary) that does a good job of covering the history of the counterculture movement of the 1960s & 1970s. I’m a baby boomer and was an adolescent and young adult living in San Francisco during most of this time period – I smiled a lot in recognition while reading this book.

Hey, this is a highly readable book that makes some very convincing arguments for cap and trade. While Heal is definitely a market enthusiast (more than I am, for example), he acknowledges the tough political decisions that have to be made in conservation choices. After reading this, I've become more convinced of the potential efficacy of judiciously used market forces in complement to international regulation in promoting conservation efforts. One big gap in Heal's thinking is his implicit dismissal of traditional plant knowledge in his chapter on biodiversity. To him, Western-style, university or corporate-funded research is the only way to produce "knowledge." He should realize that a lot of this "research" is conducted on the backs of thousands of years of traditional knowledge of the properties of plants - a point Vandana Shiva makes quite well. I'm not saying that everything every traditional healer "knows" about plants is correct. There are bound to be systematic errors in a system as fragmented and un-standardized as traditional medicine. But traditional knowledge goes a long way towards showing pharmaceutical researchers where to look. And literally millions, maybe billions of people, depend on it. Heal does tip his hat to Shaman Pharmaceuticals for sharing their profits with their informants. But that should be the law, not just best practice. Certification, in the style Fair Trade, would be a good intermediate step between the current state of things and future international legislation. I'm about 10 pages from the end of this, so it's technically "currently-reading," but basically, I've read it.

The Woodbyne family might be a very old and distinguished one, but in 1812 they are very poor indeed and younger son Laurence (Laurie) gets the short stick and must marry the daughter of a wealthy lower class merchant. Esmeralda might not be the love of his life, but she sure is passionate in bed - that is until she's in the family way and locks him out of her room. After the happy event Esme's lack of interest in the marital bed sends him on the hunt for her lover, and boy does he get a bigger surprise than he ever bargained for (it's a whopper!). Daddy dearest decides it's best for all concerned if Laurie takes a position at one of his fur trading posts in what is now western British Columbia - the land beyond the shining mountains. The story then switches focus to that of Rowan Malone, whose father is white and her mother a Chilcotin Indian. Raised by the Catholic church after her father's death, she is reeling from a brutal attack by three drunken young men and decides to seek her mother's people. She travels west in the care of an elderly priest, but when his health fails the beauteous Rowan is at the mercy of the savage voyageurs - will Laurie hear her screams for help and save her in the nick of time? Rowan finds her life at Fort Purline off to a difficult start as some see her as nothing more than an Indian female to be used at will, and those lusty voyageurs are ready to lap her up like a cat with cream. Laurie steps in as her protector, but Rowan still carries a lot of emotional baggage from her previous attacks - is he the one who can heal them and make her whole again? What follows is the story of their relationship including the difficulties of her parentage and the inherent prejudices that come with it. There's also the complication of George Durran who loves her from afar and can't forget the fate his aging grandmother had once foretold for him, that of a woman, two men who loved her and a choice that would lead to one road or the other. And oh, what a choice that was *sniff* Yep, there's a lot more to it than that but I'll leave that for you to read and find out. This really isn't an action packed cowboys and indians western kind of book, but more character driven dealing with life inside the fort, the hardships they faced and the people who lived there and their relationships with others. The local Indian population is very much a part of that, but be warned this novel was written in 1979 before we became so dreadfully PC at all times and felt the need to sugar coat everything. A good solid read and definitely recommended for those interested in area's history, but do plan on having a tissue or two handy at the end.

After finishing this book, I went into such a funk. Had I seen a Hallmark commercial of any kind, I probably would have started bawling. However, this is not to say that this book isn't fantastic. It absolutely is. This book made me think and it touched me in an obvious way. This is a quite a different reaction from many of the other books I have read, which are often meaningless ways to pass some time. This is a story about an incredibly deep romance between two people. The two participants are so different, but yet they bring out the best in each other. We find out about this romance after tragedy has struck. As you are reading a review of the book, you know that the story occurs after the death of Paul's wife Lexy and that he is seeking meaning to her death. So, the book is also largely about grief and recovering from it. I didn't want this book to end, and I read it in an afternoon. It was fantastic, hope you enjoy it too!!
