I had waited for the launch of this book with great anticipation, but it did not live up to my expectations.I found the first few pages intriguing. However the story then reverts from the present to the past life of Harry Cane, and the first half of the book did not hold my attention. I found the character of Harry Cane a little too indolent and spineless, and failed to understand why, after a childhood at a British boy's boarding school, he did not realize his homosexual tendencies. His marriage was obviously one of convenience for both parties. So sad that homosexuals felt it necessary to marry in order to meet conventions at that time.Although the story gains momentum in the second half when Cane journeys to Canada, some of the other characters are one-dimensional, especially that of Troels Munck who reminded me of the evil villain in a Victorian melodrama. Munck appears intermittently throughout the novel as if he just "pops in" at Moose Jaw or Winter. Given the immense distances from England to the Canadian prairies, and the time the journey took in those days, I found his conveniently timed appearances a little difficult to believe.I enjoyed the beautiful sketches of the prairie landscape and the family scenes at Moose Jaw, which I found totally credible. But the scene with Ursula near the end just did not work for me, and the leaps from the Bethel rehabilitation centre back to the past disrupted the flow of the story.Wonderful prose, evocative descriptions, but the story just did not engage me emotionally.
I loved the start of A Place Called Winter, the building of the principal character, the exploration of a particular strand of society as the 19th century turned to the 20th and I felt this was definitely a novel I would enjoy. Then the storyline took a major step sideways. Moving continent, moving society, moving way of life, the story still had appeal, albeit a very different direction. Well written, engaging to an extent, my problem with A Place Called Winter was its circular storyline. Characters came, characters left and in the end, the story seemed to have gone all the way back to the start without any great impact. Even the most dramatic, harrowing scenes were quite ... humdrum as presented. At the end, sorry to say, I felt quite indifferent to the whole saga.
A PLACE CALLED WINTER is the first book in ages which I read in a single day, migrating from chair to bed, drinking wine and tea. What a moving story of a young man in Edwardian England, born rich and marrying well without any job, who when he finds he is drawn to men, is evicted from his family. He escapes near penniless to Canada where he becomes a farmer, working until he drops, finding love and friendship, and winning victory over himself and his acres of earth but not without many obstacles and growing finally into a strong, steadfast and kind man. Count me as a true Patrick Gale fan!
This is the story of an outwardly conventional man in England around the turn of the 20th Century who is forced to leave his wife and daughter as a result of the discovery of his affair with another man. So he takes off across the ocean to homestead in the western part of the Canadian prairie. Though I cannot relate to same-sex attraction, I found myself being sympathetic and inspired by the lead character (Harry). Seemingly an unlikely man to strike out on such a change of life, the development of his character is evident as he grapples with the challenges of carving out a life on the frontier. Ultimately, he forms a relationship with a brother and sister on a nearby quarter section of land and I found that the sister was a well-developed and inspiring character, while the brother remained rather one-dimensional. It seemed somewhat odd that the brother (Paul), who Harry came to love in the end, remained somewhat of a mystery, but maybe that's okay. Anyway, the story really held me and some of the characters came to life for me in a compelling way.
The book starts slowly, and I was left wondering where it was leading, but after the disastrous episode with the diary, the pace quickens. However, this is not the kind of novel with quick turns of plot but more like a biography, the gradual revelation of a man's character both to himself and to the reader. The so- called deviant sexuality ( for those days) is tastefully handled. The ending is very satisfying.
I enjoyed Patrick Gale's A Place Called Winter. I loved the main character, Harry Cane; he was without malice and bitterness despite the emotional blows that followed him from the UK to Canada. Cane was a victim of his time, certain in his belief that he deserved whatever hardship and misery came his way and convinced he was a man of lesser standing , particularly diminished in comparison with his more charismatic brother Jack. My only criticism is the under developed plot around Harry's breakdown. I struggled to understand the reason for his hospital admission and found the characters confusing and vague. I wasn't sure if the young doctor was truly there to help or just involved in some unusual experimentation.However this is a minor criticism of a really good story, and a book I would recommend.
Beautiful and sensitive novel showing the problems gay people had at the beginning of the 20th Century to even give a name to their orientation. The story is rich in characters and situations and keeps the thrill till the very end. A masterpiece of Patrick Gale.
My first taste of Gale and will not be my last. I had no idea what the book was about. I was constantly surprised by a British beginning. Bias and ethnicity played centrally for a while. Then the ship-board voyage became more intriguing. The Canadian frontier came alive for me. I could feel the cold of winter, the warmth of a fire, the depth of a kiss. A things got more complicated, I felt I was a member of the family and was literally kicked in the gut when things got testy. The little touches of familiarity, chaste love, home-spun goodness, and innate evil all interplayed so much for me that I never wanted the book to end.
