Voyageurs Résumé

Voyageurs Margaret Elphinstone

In the early 1800s, Rachel Greenhow, a young Quaker, goes missing in the Canadian wilderness. Unable to accept the disappearance, her brother Mark leaves his farm in England, determined to bring his sister home.

What follows is a gripping account of Mark's odyssey and his travels with the voyageurs - the men who canoe Canada's fur-trade route.

As adventure and discovery propel the plot forward, Elphinstone takes the reader back in time and intertwines the story with enduring themes of love, war and family ties.

Voyageurs Avis

It's a long time since I've read a novel with more pleasure and interest. Voyaguers is a strong story, very well told. * * Sunday Herald * *
The prose is crisp . . . [but] what stands out is Elphinstone's sense of a strange time and place. * * The Times * *
It reminded me of Brian Moore's great novel Black Robe in the respect it plays its material. Above all it is a quest tale that dots its i's and leaves you repletely content. * * Scotsman * *
The book brings the period to life with an astonishing amount of detail, which builds up a complete picture of those pioneering times, in a wonderfully gripping and emotionally involving narrative. * * Tablet * *
