Broken Ground

McClelland&Stewart, Inc, 1998. Unbound. Like New. Hardcover with dust jacket, Like New (Near Fine), clean, tight, unmarked, Dust Jacket Like New (Near Fine) some light cover edge wear,() The northern reaches of Vancouver Island might seem like an incongruous setting for a novel about the First World War--after all, the area was all but unsettled before 1918. As troops were demobilized, however, the Canadian government showed its gratitude for their sacrifices by offering discharged soldiers farmland in this remote and decidedly uncultivatable land. Jack Hodgins recreates one of these settlements as the fictional Portuguese Creek in his B.C. Book Prize-winning novel Broken Ground. The story opens with young Charlie MacIntosh sitting in the attic of his family's slipshod farmhouse, rolling a clover-and-newspaper cigarette and watching a stranger ride into town. The rider proves to be one Wyatt Taylor, a discharged explosives expert, who has crossed the country in search of his former fiancée, Nora Macken. Both Charlie and Taylor s ID: mon0000054229 .

Toronto: McClelland & Stewart, 1998. First Edition. Hard Cover in Dust Jacket. 6-1/4 x 9-1/4 x 1 " 0771041845 1998 Hardcover in DJ 1st ... Brand new from publisher ... Never opened, Never owned , book never marked ... Jacket has feltpen mark on back, does not affect any text or illustrations ... Jacket protected in New non-stick clear mylar sleeve ... Gift Giving quality ... This is a handsome book, linen-colored textured boards, in sepia tone photographic jacket ... 360 pages ... Admirers of Jack Hodgins work will be astonished at this breakthrough book ... Complementing his usual high good humor, much of this powerful new novel is dark tragedy ... Although it is set in 1922, several years after the end of WWI , the First World War lurks behind everything here, long before vivid flashbacks take us into the trenches ... The book's central setting is a soldier's settlement , at Portugese Creek, on Vancouver Island, in British Columbia, where returned soldiers received land to settle , from the grateful nation of Canada ... That meant that the men and their families ended up in tents, staring at a landscape dominated by the stumps of giant trees which had been logged from the area ... stumps which each had to be blasted out with dynamite, at great risk to ife and limb ... Significantly, as they cleared their fields yard by yard, none of the men would allow barbed wire fences around them ... The story of the settlement at Portuguese Creek is told in the voices of half a dozen of the inhabitants ... Among them young boys trying to recover from the loss of their fathers ... young wives still defiant against the odds, and hoping their missing-in-action husbands will one day ride into town ... an Ontario man who crosses the country on horseback on a hopeless quest, only to be drawn into a romantic triangle that both amuses and fascinates his new neighbors ... a former teacher haunted by seeing one of his men - a keen young former student, and lover of poetry - shot as a deserter in France ... In Hodgins' skilful hands, this becomes an extraordinarily powerful book, enriched by the author's humanity, which leaves us feeling like a member of all these households, and part of the community ... Hodgins is the author of 'A Passion for Narrative : A Guide for Writing Ficiton' ; he has taught at a number of Canadian universities, and now teaches creative writing at the University of Victoria ... " Broken Ground " ... A Novel by Jack Hodgins ... published by McClelland & Stewart , Toronto ... 1998 First Edition Hardcover in Dustjacket ***. New/New .
