A good tale, engagingly written, with historical significance (it's about the immigrant Ukrainian experience in Alberta, and about the internments during WWI), but desperately in need of an editor. There were a number of logical inconsistencies: An 18-year-old Ukrainian peasant who left her village barely six weeks before is so fluent in English that she never has even the slightest difficulty understanding anyone, even those with French-Canadian accents. There's a Russian Orthodox church - where everyone sits in pews - in a community of mostly western Ukrainians, which is blessed by a Roman Catholic priest barely 20 pages later. They boarded the ship on which they crossed the Atlantic at Hamburg, after traveling by train from Ukraine to Antwerp. Etc. And that entire last 60-page segment, about the titular character seeking an apology for the whole thing – really, I felt the story would have been better without it.

Swept up in a whirlwind courtship, Katja and Wasyl begin life anew in a Ukrainian settlement of Western Canada. The dusty Canadian prairies promise hope and independence, but when war breaks out between the old world and the new, their newfound stability is shattered. Rumors of the internment of Ukrainian-Canadians haunt the new settlers. Would the country they love betray them like this? An incident throws the couple and their young children into turmoil, and Katja faces the prospect of enduring a Canadian winter without Wasyl by her side. The close community of Edna-Star bands together during this trying time, but the help of the suave Dr. Smith holds its own danger. Will the closely-knit family be able to weather this separation, or will they be reunited before all hope is lost? Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
