    About this ebook

    Howard Frank Mosher is one of the best-loved writers of northern New England, one who has “created a literary landscape as textured as anything produced by the U. S. Geological Survey,” according to USA Today. His “greatest gift,” says the Washington Post, is “his talent for creating lively, living characters.” One of his most vivid and memorable characters is Marie Blythe. At the dawn of the twentieth century, a young girl with a felicitous name immigrates to Vermont from French Canada. She grows up confronting the grim realities of life with an indomitable spirit—nursing victims of a tuberculosis epidemic, enduring a miscarriage alone in the wilderness, and coping with the uncertainties of love. In Marie Blythe, Mosher has created a strong-minded, passionate, and truly memorable heroine.

      Episodic novel follows life of Canadian immigrant Marie Blythe from age 13 to mid-thirties. Parts were exciting, but much of it was pretty dull. I found it interesting, because I like historical novels that are realistic (not romanticized). This was life as it was lived on the Canadian border in the early twentieth century, focusing on a woman of unusual strength of character. The antagonist was not very sympathetic, for me; couldn't really understand what drove him to madness. I liked "Where the Rivers Flow North" better. The style here is simpler, almost YA. A good novel for a high school reader.
