"marie blythe is classic howard frank mosher. its written like a good campfire story. barely believable but highly entertaining, taking you on a journey thru turn of the century northern vermont life. also recommended: on kingdom mountain and disappearances, both by the same author. best read outside, drinking coffee, at 6.20 AM"
"A somewhat brutal but vivid depiction of life in rural Vermont in the early 20th century. Marie is orphaned at ten, not long after her parents leave Quebec for better economic opportunities in the only too suitably named Hell's Gate. There, she becomes entangled with the Benedict family, from the memorable "Captain" who established the town, to his handsome son Abie, whose interest in Marie turns inexplicably to hatred."
"Frank Howard Mosher is one of my favorite Vermont writers. Lots of Vermont and Canadian history deftly intertwined with plots relevant to the times he is writing about, and complex characters that " stay with you"."
