Now in my top 5 Canadian novels. Written in the 50's. I looked for it for years, and finally it was republished. Bought 2 copies, one to send to Sheila.
Takes place in Vancouver and a northern BC isolated resort.
The story of a woman who is independent, makes mistakes, and then is strong enough to fix them. I liked Wilson's truths. One of my favorites is how Maggie Lloyd finds herself in a situation in which she can do no right. The couple who owns the resort are not competent, but resent her as she takes charge, especially the wife. Maggie realizes that she must manage the situation because the woman will not, cannot see beyond the jealousy and emotion of the moment, to see how they will have to work together.
