Chronicling the early years of the formidable manor Jalna and the Whiteoak family who inhabit it, this bundle gathers together the first four novels in Mazo de la Roche's treasured Canadian saga.IncludesThe Building of JalnaMorning at JalnaMary WakefieldYoung Renny
Perhaps the most classic novels of Mazo de la Roche's monumental family saga are these four, including the original novel Jalna. They fall in the middle of her books' multi-generation narrative, but were the first books written in the series, and set the stage for the twelve sequels and prequels that were to follow.
History flows swiftly on, and even the formidable family home of Jalna is swept up in its currents in this collection of books 9-12 of the Jalna series. Fortunes rise and crumble as older generations give way to the young, and the reins of tradition strain against the swift rush of progress.
All good things must come to an end, and with these four novels Mazo de la Roche's brings her beloved Jalna saga to a masterful conclusion.
