The Alien Corn

This sweeping love story follows Canadian Jim Armstrong, who marries quickly during World War II, and his wife Joan, a war bride adjusting to life on a remote Ontario farm. As Jim grapples with his wartime memories and personal doubts, the novel explores their struggles to navigate the challenges of peace after facing the upheavals of war. Spanning from the farmland of Ontario to Italy's war-torn landscapes, it continues the story from Clare Flynn's "The Chalky Sea."
