Lane that had no Turning, and Other Tales concerning the People of Pontiac

by Gilbert Parker

Gilbert Parker's "The Lane that had no Turning, and Other Tales concerning the People of Pontiac" is a collection of short stories set in the fictional town of Pontiac, Quebec. The stories explore the lives and loves of the townspeople, often with a Gothic twist. The collection is known for its atmospheric prose and its exploration of themes such as love, loss, guilt, and the supernatural. Parker's use of local folklore and legends gives the stories a distinct Canadian flavor. The collection also includes six "Parables of a Province," which are shorter, more allegorical tales that offer insights into the human condition.
