This is the story of an outwardly conventional man in England around the turn of the 20th Century who is forced to leave his wife and daughter as a result of the discovery of his affair with another man. So he takes off across the ocean to homestead in the western part of the Canadian prairie. Ultimately, he forms a relationship with a brother and sister on a nearby quarter section of land. He marries the sister to save her reputation when she became pregnant after being raped and becomes the lover of her brother.
I really liked this book. It was well written, the story was flowed brilliantly and I loved Harry Cane as a character, so prim and proper but yet so strong willed and charming.
