Completed in 1930 while the author was living in Paris—imbibing and boxing with James Joyce and Ernest Hemingway—this novel has violence at its core. The story opens with the hanging of an ex-World War I soldier for involuntary murder. First and foremost, though, it is a story of love—a love haunted by that hanging.

About the Author
Born in Toronto in 1903, Morley Callaghan graduated from the University of Toronto and Osgoode Hall. He was called to the bar in 1928 but he never practiced law. Although he travelled widely, and lived in Paris for some time during the golden years of Hemingway and Fitzgerald, Callaghan spent most of his life in Toronto producing fifteen novels, a memoir and streams of short stories. He was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature and in Canada received a host of honours, including the Governor General’s Award for Fiction. He died in 1990.
