Megan is the only daughter of Edward
and Emily Cartwright. They live in
Struan, Ontario, where Emily produces baby after baby, all boys, who become
Megan’s responsibility. Emily loses
interest in the infants as soon as the baby stage is over. Megan’s older
brother Tom is interested in aeronautical engineering but his life changes when
tragedy strikes the family of his best friend.
Megan has grown up in the role of
housekeeper in the family but makes her escape to England where she is
successful in her new life.
Eventually matters at home make it
necessary for her to decide between returning to Struan, or staying in England.
Mary Lawson does an excellent job of
describing winter in Canada and the sparseness of the population around Struan. I admit that at first I was not sure I would
like this story but by the middle of the book I was caught up. I would recommend this book and think it
might be a good book club book.
