Du Pre spends most of his time with a woman named Madelaine, and the banter between them is a joy to read. Bowen has done an exceptional job of capturing the rhythm of Du Pre's speech, all the while infusing the dialog with a wry wit. Although there are some scenes which demonstrate the Metis way of life, the book is much more a study of character than culture.
