![]() The dogs belong to her two brothers-in-law who are bound to make her pay for her crime. ![]() She's a nineteen year-old widow who murdered her husband with his own gun. And since this book is set in a part of Canada that I am very familiar with I have an immediate affinity for it.The dogs are chasing Mary Boulton, referred to most of the time as simply, "the widow". They both have strong female characters and each faces horrible physical and mental challenges. But if I had read The Outlander before I would have been hard pressed to say which I liked better. I thought The Book of Negroes was a fantastic book and I was very happy when it did win the contest. ![]() ![]() As it was I had only read The Fat Woman Next Door is Pregnant and The Book of Negroes and there was no contest about which I wanted to win. Well, if I had read this book before the 2009 Canada Reads contest I would have had divided loyalties about which I wanted to win. ![]()
