Two Solitudes

by Hugh MacLennan

McGill-Queen's University Press | | Trade Paperback

A landmark of nationalist fiction, Hugh MacLennan’s Two Solitudes is the story of two races within one nation, each with its own legend and ideas of what a nation should be. In his vivid portrayals of human drama in prewar Quebec, MacLennan focuses on two individuals whose love increases the prejudices that surround them until they discover that "love consists in this, that two solitudes protect, and touch and greet each other."

    Timeless

    'Two Solitudes' not only explores Paul Tallard's journey or delivers a message of tolerance, it make a strong point concerning the goings-on in Canada, specifically between French and English people. MacLennan avoids favouring one over the other and succeeds in portraying what we all look for in a book of this kind: reality. MacLennan's book could not be more real and deserves every bit of the Governor General's Award. I recommend the book to anyone who wants to read something worthwhile and interesting, especially to any fellow Canadians whether they be French, English or bilingual.
