Road Ends by Mary Lawson 352 pages



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.
