Reviews

"Elphinstone brings the landscapes and peoples of 1800s Canada back to thrilling life in her pacy, colourful and intelligent epic: the finest trip along these rivers since Brian Moore's Black Robe." Boyd Tonkin, The Independent
"Elphinstone has done her research. Her history is bang up to date... Mark Greenhow is an unlikely - but deserving - hero. There is a quiet, dogged courage about him that is very satisfying. I have to say it's a long time since I've read a novel with more pleasure and interest. Voyageurs is a strong story, very well told; a tale set against the background of an almost-forgotten war when British troops (under a Scots commander) tramped into Washington and burned down the White House... Voyageurs is the kind of fiction we'll be reading long after the pretentious dross that makes the Booker prize list has been forgotten." George Rosie, Sunday Herald
