About this book

John Harris studies a map of Manitoba while weighing the risks of leaving his poorly paid teaching job. His fiancée, Mary, insists on sharing the venture, and their lakeside conversation sets the terms of a future built on land, work and mutual dependence. Robert J. C. Stead's novel places their hopes within the farm life of the Canadian West, where the promise of a homestead comes with uncertainty and hard labour.

Later, the desire for more land has become a source of strain within the family. Mary packs a trunk while her son Allan tries to understand how two people who love each other can grow apart. The contrast between the couple's early plans and this domestic conflict gives the book its particular interest.
