Good read, slow start and it is frustrating how dense Frank is. Once again Scott has strong female characters in Diana Vernon and Helen MacGregor. All the Scots- English lowers my comprehension and slows reading however.

Written like a police report. Not a pleasant read. Takes place in the 1970s , yet mulling over issues that are current today…misinformation and the harm it does.

“Does the primeval forest
weep
for it’s devourers

does nature mourn
our existence..”
