Settings of the novel, "The Wars", by Timothy Findley

From section one to section two; there are various settings in the novel, “The Wars”, by Timothy Findley. During the prologue of the novel, the setting is somewhere in France during World War one. As the story progresses, the setting changes yet again to Ontario, Canada, then to Lethbridge, Alberta, and finally to one of the maritime provinces in Canada, the time period alternates between the late 19th century, and the early 20th century. In section 2, the author takes the reader to the settings of a ship in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, to an English hospital, and finally to the trenches of France, all this takes place during sometime in the year 1916. Although I haven’t read the rest of the novel, I believe the majority of it will take place in France during the time period of the early 20th century.

  1. How are you liking the book? I'm reading 'The last of the Crazy People' by the same author and it's not too great.
