"[A deeply appealing novel . . . A painstakingly researched and beautifully developed reconstruction of life on the New England/Canadian frontier . . . Ernest Hebert somehow manages to capture both the strangeness and the universality of [Caucus-Meteor's mind and heart . . . The novelist has found a perfect foundation on which to build a replica of a world long since lost to all of us newer Americans." -Alan Cheuse, All Things Considered, "[A] deeply appealing novel . . .

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
