A review by davidscrimshaw
Barkskins, by Annie Proulx

5.0

You don't need me to tell you that Annie Proulx is a terrific writer.

This is a long book. I had to check it out twice to finish it. The story spans centuries. That means that, except for a few people at the end, just about everybody dies.

So it's a long read and if you're like me, it will often make you sad.

But if you feel any connection to trees or forests, you should read Barkskins.

And who isn't connected to trees and forests?
