Martha Ostenso wrote this story in the 1920’s set in Manitoba. Back then abuse was not heard of. If neighbours felt, there was something not right they may talk about it maybe even feel empathy but would go about their own business. This book is about a tyrant of a husband and father who creates dysfunction in the family and reigns his family in a cold calculating way in which they fear him. His tactics for control stems from being a master manipulator, threatens to exploit secrets and spiritually degrades his family. He brings such dysfunction to his family for his own selfish reasons and greed.
