Revealing a little-known part of North American history, this lively guide tells the fascinating tale of the settlement of the St. Lawrence Valley. It also tells of the Montreal and Quebec-based explorers and traders who traveled, mapped, and inhabited a very large part of North America and "embrothered the peoples" they met, as Jack Kerouac wrote. Connecting everyday life to the events that emerged as historical turning points in the life of a people, this audiobook sheds new light on Quebec's 450-year history - and on the historical forces that lie behind its two recent efforts to gain independence.

The authors of this book have done an excellent job making important facts known, with a book that flows gracefully from one event to another.

The narration, however, is an embarrassment. The narrator not only sing-songs his way through the text (very annoying mark of an amateur), but lacks the ability to correctly pronounce French names and places. Unfortunately, the narrator is required to mention names and places just about every third sentence.

For a book that’s so painfully details how the French culture and language were criminalized and demonized, it is sad to see that a narrator was chosen who is incapable of pronouncing French names accurately.

This carefully detailed manuscript should celebrate the victory of the French people without ironically being compromised it in such a fundamental way.

Great content, embarrassing narration

A fairly dry telling of Quebec’s history, narrated by someone whose French accent is like an American high school student’s. The reading felt phoned-in, without much regard to phrasing. Better than nothing I guess.

Disappointing narration

mostly a date and time chronology of events but it jumps around. it would have been better with more background stories of how events development.

Start of the book could gave benefited from context of what was going on in the world and North America.
Attention given to events, etc., across the timeline is very uneven and doesn’t relate to the relevance of the history and current situation of Quebec.
Narration was very strange. At times i wondered whether it was an automated reading of the text. E.g., little to no pausing between sentences or paragraphs

Political & military history , NOT a people’s history
