Synopsis
He’s known as the trapper and his family has a long history in these isolated woods. Now it’s just him and the boy, and he’ll raise him in the world he knows, the forest, where threats take recognizable forms: harsh weather, peak predators, the encroachment of civilization at odds with their lifestyle. But for those lands and minds with an unsettled past, other dangers may lurk the woods where father and son hunt the timber. One fateful day their woodland life is violently broken—shouldn’t those guilty of such injustice be held to account? Though at times gritty even violent, there is raw grace in these pages like veins of gold running through black quartz. A tale told in captivating prose of wild living, where human skin is no boundary for either the beauty or cruelty of nature. A book studded with reflective wonder, wholly a story of the profound bonds of human love. The big woods of the Far North in all its naked majesty become an arena for the dueling forces of life: joy and suffering, good and evil, compassion and vengeance. Though the forest is isolated, this may be a story of the wilderness existing within us all. A story that won't easily be forgotten as there is something enduring here. Immortal North.
My Review
This was a great story. That I found very interesting. It was wrote like a literary fiction story that was very unique. I really liked how the author wrote this book not using the trapper or hos sons name. I enjoyed reading this story and read it all in one day. It was a very different type of novel the atmosphere that the author created was brilliant. I rated this audiobook 3.5 stars. The audiobook was read by the author. I liked his voice and the speed that he read. I feel that others may find it a bit fast but perfect for me the only issue I had with the audiobook was the very long pauses before each new chapter hence why it wasn't a full 4 star rating. Story definitely is 4 stars. I definitely recommend reading this story as it really was very interesting and gripping and full of passion and emotion. It was definitely thrilling with unexpected twists. There was no many characters as the majority of the book is centered around the rather solitary life of the trapper and his son. It was very well wrote and flowed really well. I will definitely be looking out for more books by this fantastic author.
So much praise goes out to the author and publishers for creating such a wonderful and so very interesting story that was an amazing reading experience.
