Set during the dustbowl 1930s, this tersely narrated prize-winning novel follows Lina Ashley, a determined solo female homesteader who takes her family from drought-ridden southern Alberta to a new life in the Peace River region. Here her daughter Poppy grows up in a community characterized by harmonious interactions between the local Métis and newly arrived European settlers. Still, there is tension between mother and daughter when Poppy becomes involved with a Métis lover. This novel expands the patriarchal canon of Canadian prairie fiction by depicting the agency of a successful female settler and, as noted by Dorothy Livesay, was "one of the first, if not the first Canadian novel wherein the plight of the Native Indian and the Métis is honestly and painfully recorded." The afterword by Carole Gerson and Janice Dowson provides substantial information about author Christine van der Mark and situates her under-acknowledged book within the contexts of Canadian social, literary, and publishing history. 410 0$aEarly Canadian literature series. 606 $aLITERARY CRITICISM / General$2bisacsh 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $aAlberta literature. 610 $aCanadian fiction. 610 $aCanadian women writers. 610 $aGreat Depression. 610 $aIndigenous communities. 610 $aMétis in Canadian literature. 610 $aNorthern literature. 610 $afemale protagonists. 610 $amodernism. 610 $arural communities. 615 7$aLITERARY CRITICISM / General. 676 $a813.54 700 $aVan der Mark$b Christine$f1917-1970,$0940266 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910155156503321 996 $aIn Due Season$92120281 997 $aUNINA
