Winston of the Prairie

This was one of the first books I read after discovering Project Gutenberg, and it's the one that introduced me to Harold Bindloss. It's a sweeping moral tale of right and wrong...how even choices made when there seems to be no other option can haunt us for the rest of our lives. It's set in the Canadian prairies in the early 1900s, and you will feel the sting of snow and taste the hunger of desperation as you read.
