Summary:
This is an unforgettable story of jealousy, rivalry and the power of obsession played out over the course of a half century. Two brothers, the sons of a farmer living in the fictional Northern Ontario community of Struan and whose lives are overshadowed by the looming threat of World War II, are polar opposites. Arthur is shy, dependable and dutiful, set to inherit the family farm, while Jake, his younger brother, is handsome, moody and dangerous to know. When a beautiful young woman arrives in Struan, the fragile balance of the brothers' rivalry is pushed to the very edge of catastrophe. Taut with apprehension, surprising us with moments of tenderness and humour, this is a compelling and humane novel with a shocking climax.
