BOOKLIGHT: “THE INDIFFERENT STARS ABOVE”: an enthrallling saga of emigration and tragedy
Through meticulous research – including walking much of the actual physical path that the emigrants walked more than 160 years ago – and through his extraordinary empathy and prose, Brown has created a work of narrative non-fiction that gives true and new insights into the events that transpired that awful winter of 1846-47 – and keeps the reader enthralled and rushing to turn pages along the way.By: Ellen Baker, Living North Magazine
