If you adored Annie Proulx's The Shipping News or Brokeback Mountain, don't miss out as we have 100 exclusive early copies of Barkskins for Caboodlers.
In the late seventeenth century two penniless young Frenchmen, Ren! Sel and Charles Duquet, arrive in New France. Bound to a feudal lord, a “seigneur,” for three years in exchange for land, they become wood-cutters – barkskins.
Proulx tells the stories of the descendants of Sel and Duquet over three hundred years – their travels across North America, to Europe, China, and New Zealand, under stunningly brutal conditions; the revenge of rivals; accidents; pestilence; Indian attacks; and cultural annihilation. Over and over again, they seize what they can of a presumed infinite resource, leaving the modern-day characters face to face with possible ecological collapse.
To be one of 100 to get their hands on this dazzling new novel before anyone else, simply fill in the form. This giveaway will end on Thursday 19th May 2016. Please see our terms and conditions here.
