As Jessie struggles to uncover the truth about her fiancé and his family, she must also confront her own feelings and desires, and make difficult choices about the kind of life she wants to lead. Stringer's vivid descriptions of the prairie landscape and his nuanced characterizations of the book's many complex personalities make "The Prairie Wife" a rich and rewarding read. The book also explores themes of love, loyalty, and betrayal, and offers a fascinating glimpse into the social and cultural dynamics of early 20th-century Canada.
