In the course of this epic novel, Proulx tells the stories of Rene's children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren, as well as the descendants of his friends and foes, as they travel back to Europe, to China, to New England, always in quest of a livelihood or fleeing stunningly brutal conditions--war, pestilence, Indian attacks, the revenge of rivals. Robert Petkoff's delivery is mesmerizing, with distinctive voices for generations of well-developed characters, and immediately the listener is immersed in a place so colourfully depicted through both the written and spoken word that the time slips past and Proulx's wild forests settle in all around.
