Great book. I've read some reviews quibbling about the Native American patois (sounds like Tonto talking to the Loan Ranger), the lack of character development (there are quite a few characters and over 95,000 days, give her a break), and how, once she gets to the 21st Century, it seems like she is in a hurry to finish (yeah, but I think the idea is, by then, irreparable harm has been done and our protagonists are not going to make the kind of impact made by the proceeding generations).

A bit heavy-handed towards the end, but a remarkable book documenting the systematic destruction of North American forests. I enjoyed the multi-generational aspect of the book tracing 2 lineages throughout history and how they're tied to the forests. Some characters were introduced and killed off on the same page. Others lasted many chapters. It was interesting to go back and forth between the two great families. A great read!
