Larry Gwynne grows up in a Canadian village under a gentle mother’s teaching, and when he will not fight the other boys call him a coward. The novel follows him to the prairies of western Canada, where he finds work, friendship and love, and then into the crisis of 1914 and the question of whether a man of peace must go to war.
