At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to the rich but contentious landscape of the Canadian prairie, where settlers navigate both the physical challenges of farming and the social dynamics of their community. The narrative opens with a vivid description of the setting, showcasing the beauty and harshness of the land through the eyes of Carter, a dedicated worker who is concerned about the welfare of his sick neighbor, Morrill.
