An interesting historical fiction showing the prairie settler experience in Canada.
An overall, fascinating read, full of interesting characters and strong women.
I recommend it if you really enjoy reading historical fiction set in the prairies.

Thank you Netgalley for the copy.

Thanks to NetGalley and Groundwood Books for an advanced copy. I am auto-approved for House of Anansi Press which allowed me access to this title.

The tale of 17-year-old Rebecca, a member of the Church of Latter Day Saints, who has traveled from Utah to Canada's Northwest Territories with her parents and brothers to homestead on land. Rebecca is a strong protagonist who hopes that she too will be able to own land.

What a great novel! Buffalo Flats is coming out at the end of April and I really hope that my fellow readers and reviewers pay attention to this book. A historical fiction that shows a family overcoming hardship and instilling a sense of community and good values in all their children. I loved Rebecca's mother so much! Although it was a little slow at the beginning of the story, I soon became immersed in the events of the text. A memorable read!

A most enjoyable read!
I have read several books on pioneer life but this was my first taste of what pioneer life would have been like in the NWT’s. Harsh and unpredictable weather, grippe that ravaged the settlement as well as many other unforeseeable realities.
Based on real life historical events of the Leavitt family, a steadfast female protagonist and memorable characters painted an enlightening picture of the harships they endured.
Once I started reading this one I couldn’t put it down.
A palatable read from cover to cover.!

I look forward to reading more historical fiction from this Canadian author.
