“Beautifully researched, –touching and romantic.” Sue Sorensen, author “A Large Harmonium”

Jilted by her near-beau in England, Florence Southam travels to the exotic new world of the Saskatchewan Prairies to attend the wedding of her cousin and to recover from her recent disappointment. Despite Victorian-esque outward appearances, Florence discovers that in the Cannington Manor settlement, social niceties quickly give way to the practicalities of survival and her own unquestioned beliefs are suddenly thrown into doubt by new possibilities of selfhood and the potential of finding love outside the conventional social norms of her upbringing.
