The Lane That Had No Turning, Volume 2 by Gilbert Parker
"The Lane That Had No Turning, Volume 2" by Gilbert Parker is a collection of short stories published in 1900. Set in the French-Canadian community of Pontiac, Quebec, these tales explore the lives, romances, and struggles of its democratic yet monarchial inhabitants. From absurd romances to tragic comedies, from woodsmen to workers in stone, Parker crafts intimate portraits of a province and its people. Dedicated to Prime Minister Sir Wilfrid Laurier, this
collection celebrates French-Canadian life and character through stories that range from the everyday to the extraordinary. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
