This is the third Patrick Gale novel I have read. As always his characters are well developed, including human failings and the storyline is complex. It is a beautifully written sorrowful tale. There is a lot of detail of life in late 19th century England and of life for homesteaders in the Canadian Prairies. Since I have read only 3 of his books, I am not sure if Mr. Gale ever writes uplifting stories. None of the books I have read have been happy stories. That's fine with me, I like this type of story.
