Eight more wonderful Munro stories. Ward traces in loving detail the course of George Jones' love for Honorine Tanswell, her answering love, her parents' opposition to the match and Honorine's acceptance of their dictates. Although the diary describes only fragments of the young lovers' lives, it is a rich source of insight into the social lives of youthful Candians during the early Victorian age. This is the love story of a clandestine correspondence between a schoolgirl and a convict imprisoned in Kingston Penitentiary. In a dazzling blend of historical detective work and imaginative recreation, Simonds takes the reader on a haunting journey through the world of Canada's oldest prison and the people who lived in its shadow.
