Couldn’t get into the historical fiction at the time.

Maybe I’ll pick it up again someday, but the narration of beaver drama wasn’t really enough to pull me in.

wow, this was a pleasant surprise. I was admittedly a bit bored at first, but once we got to Lame Beaver, the story sucked me in, and I always disliked when I had to stop reading for sleep or work. Michener was more enjoyable that Follett as his novel seemed more realistic, and was less sensationalised
