- Summary
- "THE O'BRIENS follows the family from THE LAW OF DREAMS (Governor General's Literary Award-winner) two generations later: Joe O'Brien is coming of age in a new century in remote Pontiac County, Quebec, with his two brothers and two sisters by his side. After escaping the poverty of Pontiac, Joe travels the continent, building an empire and a bright young family with his wife, Iseult, but he is never quite able to leave his past behind. Told from the perspective of Joe, Iseult, and their children and spanning the construction of the Canadian railroad as well as both world wars, this is an epic of great heart, imagination and narrative force."--Publisher.
