内容简介

Using the lives of four families as its focus, Greenbank broadens to explore and capture with extraordinary vividness life as a whole in early Canada. The remarkable will of the early pioneers, and the dissipation of that will in succeeding generations; the creation of an educational system from scratch; the hardships of everyday life, and the simple recreations that helped to dispel them; the coming of the railways; the subcurrent of alcohol s influence on the culture, and the fight against it; the harsh ethic of evangelism, which gave shape to so many of the attitudes of the people - all these are recurrent themes in Greenbank . Within this broad canvas the lives of individual people are the brush strokes that bring life as a whole into vivid and poignant focus.
