This was a spellbinding book about a period of living in the Canadian wilderness that I remember from reading 40 or so years ago. ( )

A young couple "goes to the woods" in search of a life like Thoreau's. What a great read. I really enjoy books about the wilderness and especially Alaskan wilderness. They really brought to life what living in the wilderness is like. This would make a great read aloud for families. She even shares recipes.
