false 2564143 1 The year is 1811 and Mark Greenhow, a young Quaker, leaves his small community in northern England and embarks upon a life-changing journey. His sister, Rachel, a missionary traveling in North America, has gone missing and is presumed dead. Only Mark refuses to abandon hope. What follows is a beautifully evocative and gripping account of Mark's search across Canada's vast, uncharted wildernesses. Traveling with the "voyageurs"-the men who canoe the immense Canadian fur-trade route-in search of the truth about his sister's last journey, Mark struggles to maintain his religious belief in non-violence while all around him take up arms in the War of 1812. Voyageurs is a gripping and hugely enjoyable adventure set against the magnificent backdrop of nineteenth-century Canada that also addresses the timeless themes of war, love, and the emotional bonds that bind us to one another. 2572646 7 2004 Voyageurs: A Novel total:2|4:2| 2 8 2 0 4 0 false false Mon Sep 21 17:51:09 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 21 17:51:09 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Thu Jul 16 18:34:35 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 16 18:34:35 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=2564143
