Beschreibung:
Christine van der Mark (1917-1970) was born and raised in Calgary. While teaching in rural Alberta schools, she attended the University of Alberta, receiving her B.A. in 1941 and her M.A. in Creative Writing in 1946. Much of her writing expressed sympathetic concern for the Métis of Northern Alberta.
First published in 1947, In Due Season broke new ground in its fictional representation of women and of Indigenous people. Set during the dustbowl 1930s, it follows Lina Ashley, a determined solo female homesteader who takes her family from drought-ridden southern Alberta to a new life in the Peace River region.
