A Place Called Winter

I very much enjoyed A Place Called Winter by Patrick Gale which is set in England and Canada in the early 20th century.  Harry Cane, an English gentleman, is forced to leave his wife and young daughter when a relationship he had with another person is exposed.  Harry goes to Canada and is befriended by an unscrupulous person who leaves him with a farming family for a year so Harry can learn how to farm.  This turned out to be a good idea and Harry gets on very well with the family and later establishes his own farm.  There is another thread to Harry's story where the reader finds him in an asylum.  Gradually the two story threads come together as we find out what happened to Harry. This is a love story built around the harsh terrain of the time and world events from which there was no escape.  41/2/5
