5.0 out of 5 stars
A Mountie torn between duty and love in the Canadian north.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Flaming Forest (Hardcover)
The Flaming Forest is unapologetic northern Romance in the grandest tradition. Curwood's love for the Canadian north is a little jarring at first, at least to a jaded Canadian such as myself, but in his hands Canada is transformed into a land of mystery and myth, a place where the Mountie still gets his man and the French Canadian rivermen (with their scarlet headscarves) are forever singing, and where the French Canadian daughter of a river baron is too lovely for words (although Curwood sure does try), and where bad guys have names like "Black Roger Audemard". At the same time, the novel was less of an adventure than a love story/ mystery. The mystery was a page-turner, and the love story was all you could ask for -- just don't expect a two-fisted, pulp style adventure.
