Barkskins by Annie Proulx

4.0

I am not the reader for this book. I went back and forth all day about DNF’ing this and I’ve decided to do so at the 60% point. This book is grand and excellent across the board, but it lacks an overall trajectory of a grand story. Historically I’m not a big fan of historical fiction or slice of life books and this is that exactly. Because of that I’m DNFing it, however if you are looking for something that spans a large period of time and lots of new world literature check this book out. Her writing is divine, and I’m still rating it 4/5 even though I didn’t finish it!
