About the Book:
The daughter of a Mohawk mother and French father in 1759 Montreal, Catherine Duval finds it is easier to remain neutral in a world that is tearing itself apart. Content to trade with both the French and the British, Catherine is pulled into the fray against her wishes when her British ex-
fiance, Samuel Crane, is taken prisoner by her father. Samuel asks her to help him escape, claiming he has information that could help end the war. Peace appeals to Catherine, but helping the man who broke her heart does not. She delays . . . until attempts on Samuel's life convince her he's in mortal danger. Against her better judgment she helps him flee by river, using knowledge of the landscape to creep ever closer to freedom. Their time together rekindles feelings she thought long buried, and danger seems to hound their every mile. She's risked becoming a traitor by choosing a side, but will the decision cost her even more than she anticipated?
My Review:
This book is so interesting! I found it to be complexed and captivating. It's a true story, not a romance per se. I'm rather floored by this book, it's extremely realistic in how it "feels" and how people think and act. They aren't glossed over, and as a personal bonus, I have always loved the Native American people and this book did it's best to represent them as realistically as the author could. I'd not be surprised if this book wound up a movie. I think it needs more than 5 stars.
