Voyageurs Taschenbuch von Margaret Elphinstone Begrenzte Stückzahl

„Elphinstone brings the landscapes and peoples of 1800s Canada back to thrilling life in her pacy, colourful and intelligent epic: the finest trip along these rivers since Brian Moore’s great Black Robe.“ Independent

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