The novel poses many issues that face the people of the 1920’s and 30’s, and makes one think about what people have struggled through.

In From Sleep Unbound and The Tin Flute, Andree Chedid and Gabrielle Roy demonstrate
Duska’s acceptance of Whistle-Blowers Central to Duska’s discussion is his altered concept of loyalty. I however, do not find his line of argument completely convincing.
