  • "Au Canada, dans la petite ville de Struan, pendant les années trente et quarante. La famille Dunn mène la vie rude des fermiers du nord du Canada. Les deux garçons sont très différents : Arthur est fort et Jake, le cadet, est beau garçon, fin et rusé. A la suite d'un pari stupide, Jake tombera et boitera toute sa vie. Quinze ans plus tard, Arthur a repris la ferme et Jake revient le voir."
  • "It is an unforgettable story of jealousy, rivalry and the power of obsession played out over the course of half a century. Two brothers, the sons of a farmer living in the fictional Northern Ontario community of Struan and whose lives are overshadowed by the looming threat of WWII, are polar opposites."
  • "Arthur and Jake are the sons of a farmer in the mid-1930s, when life is tough and another world war is looming. Arthur is solid and dutiful, set to inherit the farm and his father's character; Jake is younger, attractive, mercurial and dangerous to know. A young woman, Laura, comes into the community and tips the fragile balance of sibling rivalry over the edge. And then there is Ian, son of the local doctor, thoughtful, idealistic, and far too sure that he knows the difference between right and wrong. By now it is the Fifties, and the world has changed - a little, but not enough."

  • "The troubled relationship between two brothers--Arthur Dunn, the dutiful eldest son, and the mercurial, dangerous Jake--escalates when they are both drawn to a beautiful young woman."
  • "Two brothers, Arthur and Jake Dunn, are the sons of a farmer in the mid-1930s, when life is tough and another world war is looming. Arthur is reticent, solid, dutiful and set to inherit the farm and his father?s character; Jake is younger, attractive, mercurial and dangerous to know? the family misfit. When a beautiful young woman comes into the community, the fragile balance of sibling rivalry tips over the edge. Then there is Ian, the family?s next generation, and far too sure he knows the difference between right and wrong. By now it is the fifties, and the world has changed? a little, but not enough. These two generations in the small town of Struan, Ontario, are tragically interlocked, linked by fate and community but separated by a war which devours its young men? its unimaginable horror reaching right into the heart of this remote corner of an empire."
