Urquhart shows comparable skill in the way that she connects a seemingly tangential sub-plot involving Austin’s childhood friend George to the defining crisis in Austin’s life. Each character is finely, lucidly drawn, nuanced men and women that pierce the landscape with immeasurable poignancy and stoic hearts. Fading affect bias is a finding that the intensity of the affect that are associated with negative autobiographical memories tends to fade faster than affect associated with positive autobiographical memories. Rockwell is able to analyze the meaning behind the narrator’s paintings of Sara and eventually pry out the true meaning of his artwork.Even though Sara becomes his model, lover, and companion over the course of fifteen summers on the Canadian shore, and he knows every inch of her body, he is more reluctant to penetrate her mind, and deflects all her attempts to reach his own. This is the second Jane Urquhart novel I’ve read recently, the other being “The Stone Carvers”, which I loved.

Jane Urquhart is the daughter of a prospector/mining engineer, which explains the mining motif and landscape she uses so fluently in several of her books. The main character is so flawed and unlikable for most of the book, yet in the end it is these flaws that pulls this story together.

Some of the book's more obsessive fans have used the novel as a literary guidebook, progressing like pilgrims around the localities it visits. The characters who faced war, hardship, isolation are our great grandparents, grandparents and parents.

Sara heads out on a difficult and dangerous journey miles across a snowy landscape to meet him, while he waits for her in Port Arthur.
