Query: Raw, lusty,compelling...a fine 'airplane' read!

This book is not for the faint of heart. It's raw with historically-authentic use of language and descriptions of torture. It's lusty and filled with romantic, compelling characters of many ethnic backgrounds. And it brings to life -- vividly -- the beauty, horror, and reality of survival (centuries ago) in merciless, north-american climates. I couldn't put it down...loved the characters...would rate it five star airplane reading!!!
