Synopsis:

In "Mary Wakefield", the third book in the "Jalna" series, a young English woman is hired by Ernest Whiteoak to be a governess to Philip's motherless children. When Philip falls in love with her, his mother does all she can to prevent the marriage. In 1927, Mazo de la Roche was an impoverished writer in Toronto when she won a $10, 000 prize from the American magazine, "Atlantic Monthly" for her novel, "Jalna". This book became an immediate best-seller and went to be adapted for stage, screen and television. Known for creating unforgettable characters that come to life for her readers, Mazo de la Roche, is truly an icon of Canadian literature.
