Why read it?

1 author picked The Fort as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

The Fort is an engaging, evocative, and compelling read. Christy K Lee's characterization and dialogue are flawless - powerful and natural, never stilted or forced. Every character feels properly fleshed out and developed, with wonderfully transformative arcs. I felt cold with the characters, felt afraid with them, desperate with them, and joyful with them. This novel also taught me much about Canadian history, especially as it pertains to the voyageurs, 18th- and 19th-century French and later French Canadians who transported furs by canoe at the peak of the North American fur trade. And is that not such a wonderful aspect…
