Excerpt from The Laurentians the Hills of the Habitant Dear Wharton and Lisl: Years ago when you took me in, infant of letters that I was, clothed me with confidence, fed me with judicious praise, and held the cup of kindly criticism to my lips, you gave me the sinews for that most importunate pursuit which cries to every man, the finding of himself. You welcomed me as fellow-traveler along the joyous, difficult road of our choice, and sustained me with your comradship, ever loyal and comprehending. What disappointments we have faced, what satisfactions shared, we know and have privately recorded. But what may lie ahead we cannot know. And so I write these words of dedication to you both, as an inscription of friendship on the future, and as a symbol of that other unwritten dedication we have made, to our art, and to each other.

Winner of the Governor General’s Award for Fiction Canada Reads Selection (CBC), 2013 A landmark of nationalist fiction, Hugh MacLennan’s Two Solitudes is the story of two peoples within one nation, each with its own legend and ideas of what a nation should be. In his vivid portrayals of human drama in First World War–era 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.” The novel centres around Paul Tallard and his struggles in reconciling the differences between the English identity of his love Heather Methuen and her family, and the French identity of his father. Against this backdrop the country is forming, the chasm between French and English communities growing deeper. Published in 1945, the novel popularized the use of “two solitudes” as referring to a perceived lack of communication between English- and French-speaking Canadians. Content note: This book contains racial slurs that readers may find offensive or upsetting.
