Description
Dispelling the languor often associated with the long historical novel David Richards epic novel reestablishes the role of the writer-craftsman in this genre. Replete with historical accuracy, The Plough’s Share is as much about the complex struggles for self-worth as it is about taming the forces that shaped Canada in the last century.
