Review:

Like all Willa Cather novels the prose is exquisite.

Unlike most Willa Cather novels this was not set in the Great Plains. It was a novel of 17th century Quebec. Go Canada!

Had to dust off my French skills as there were quite a few bits and pieces en français with no translation.

Usually I complain about books needing to be shortened. This one needed to be longer, too many loose ends that just got the ol deus ex machina treatment in the short epiloque.

This book made me want to: find and eat gooseberry preserves
