Often compared to Willa Cather, Gabrielle Roy (1909-1983) here depicts a young girl's world through four interconnected stories that ultimately trace her coming of age. Set in the expansive Canadian wilderness of Manitoba, the fictitious story of French-Canadian Christine reflects Roy's own childhood growing up on the Canadian prairie. Originally published in 1966.
