In his masterwork of historical fiction, Don Gutteridge captures in fine, fully sensory

detail the conflicts and changes of early Canada, and the prejudices, hatreds,
disputes and loyalties involved in its development - all depicted through the singular
experiences of a woman named Lily through the decades of her long life. There is
blood and disgrace, passion and kindness, love and heartbreak and courage in Lilys
Story, every moment vividly, intimately rendered.
