Whatever this title suggests to you, just keep that in mind and skip this book. Sinclair Lewis could be so very, very bad. This reads like a Redbook serial. One of Lewis' least successful books, a definite disappointment after "Dodsworth". This is the story of a citified man who vacations to the Canadian wilderness, and the changes it wreaks upon him. Apparently a quick hack job by Lewis to take advantage of his heightened respect and royalties after his prior successes. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

A burned-out New York lawyer's vacation in the Canadian wilderness takes a troubled detour in this novel by the Nobel Prize-winning author of Main Street. Lawyer Frank Prescott is exhausted. The forty-year-old bachelor works late into the night, poring over documents. When he sleeps, he wakes up in a panic. Not even a round of golf at his country club or a Broadway show helps calm him down. He just wants to escape the city and feel as though he can breathe again. So, when his fellow club member, E. Wesson Woodbury, invites him along on a canoeing and fishing trip in Saskatchewan, Prescott gladly accepts. However, nothing about the excursion is relaxing. As the journey begins, tensions mount and tempers flare between Prescott and Woodbury. When they meet the rugged Joe Easter, a Canadian trading company owner, the man welcomes Prescott to fish at his home in Mantrap Landing. Prescott is happy to join him. But between Easter's lonely wife, unrest among the area's indigenous Cree tribes, and a dangerous race down the rapids, getting back home safely will be the only thing that can calm Frank Prescott's nerves . . .
