Published by Copp Clark in 1923, this appears to be a first Canadian edition.
Inspired by her volunteer work in France during World War 1, Edith Wharton's novel was initially met with indifference from a war-weary public. The moving story follows expatriate American painter John Campton as he battles to keep his only son, George, away from the front while considering the moral ramifications of his actions.
