Summary

Theodore Goodridge Roberts' "The Red Pirogue: A Tale of Adventure in the Canadian Wilds" is a captivating narrative that immerses readers in the breathtaking landscapes and treacherous challenges of Canada's wilderness. The prose is imbued with rich, descriptive language that captures the natural beauty and peril of the northern frontier, reflecting the author's keen observations and admiration for the environment. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century Canada, the book deftly intertwines themes of adventure, camaraderie, and the indomitable spirit of survival, positioning it within the larger context of wilderness literature that emerged during this era. Roberts, a Canadian author and passionate outdoorsman, draws upon his own experiences of exploration and affection for the Canadian landscape to breathe life into this tale. His background in both literature and the great outdoors uniquely qualifies him to portray the raw emotions of adventure and the complexities of human interactions with nature. This personal connection to the wilderness infuses the narrative with authenticity, transporting readers into a world where man battles not only the outer elements but also the inner challenges of character and resolve. For any reader fascinated by adventure and the majesty of nature, "The Red Pirogue" serves as a remarkable journey that offers not only escapism but also profound insights into the human experience. Roberts' ability to craft vivid scenes and relatable characters makes this work essential for anyone interested in the interplay between man and the wilderness, encouraging them to embark on their own paths of discovery.

    A Scottish saga of hope and overcoming adversity from Sunday Times betselling author Evelyn Hood 
    Can a simple fisher lass rise above adversity to realise her ambitions? 
    Buckthorne Scotland, 1873 
    All alone, following her mother death, seventeen-year-old Eden Murray returns to her deceased father’s fishing village in search if her roots and a future. 
    Eden has worked in the fishing industry since the age of twelve and is soon employed by local businesswoman Euphemia Ross. Her Uncle Caleb provides her a home out of a sense of duty when Eden is subjected to the unwanted advances of her cousin, John. 
    Much to Euphemia’s annoyance, Eden and her son Lewis Ross strike up a friendship. But Euphemia has grander plans for her son and is hostile towards Eden in preventing them ever having a future together. 
    Eden sets her own ambitions higher than being a simple fisher lass but soon learns a terrible secret and is cast off by the family. 
    But good fortune favours Eden when an unexpected inheritance changes the course of her life. Suddenly she has the means and determination to fight back against those who have wronged her. 
    But can a hastily made marriage vow to the wrong man and her continued longing for Lewis Ross threaten the business she is building? 
    Storytelling at its best, Evelyn Hood is the original bestselling Scottish saga writer.
