Johnstone of the Border
Written in the early 20th century, 'Johnstone of the Border' by Harold Bindloss follows Andrew Johnstone, a man who retreats to the Canadian wilderness after an injury ends his military career. As he reflects on his past in Scotland, particularly his relationships with his cousin Dick and the young woman Elsie, the novel explores themes of duty, longing, and personal limitations. The narrative begins with Andrew's solitude at Sable Lake and evolves into a contemplation of his ties to home, especially as he learns of Dick's struggles.
