'Exceptionally vivid and intense' Sunday Times
'A marvellously dark yarn' The Spectator
'A swaggering debut' Daily Mail
Everyone expects at least a little bit of deception...
Alex is a motherless stockboy in 1830s Montreal, waiting desperately for his father to return from France. Serge, a drunken fur trader, promises food and safety in return for friendship, but an expedition into the forest quickly goes awry...
The Voyageur is a brilliantly realised novel set on the margins of British North America, where kindness is costly and the real wilderness may not be in the landscape but in the desperate hearts of men.
PAUL CARLUCCI is the award-winning author of three collections of stories. The Voyageur is his debut novel, and his first book to be published outside Canada. He lives in Ottawa.
