I've read almost all of Verge's books and this remains my all-time favorite. It's set in the 1670s in French Canada among the fur traders.
In a time and place where a female commoner had no rights under the law, especially in the wilderness, Genny was one bad-a**ed heroine who stopped at nothing to get what she'd always wanted -- a home. Such a simple need, yet so hard for her to attain. And Andre was a hero to die for -- fierce, loyal and honest to a fault. Watching him succumb to Genny and seeing her get what she deserved was a joy.
