The time is February, 1945. The War in Europe is raging towards its last catastrophe. The people of the village beside the Great Lake are waiting - for war to end; for the incursion of a US hockey team to test the local mettle; for the arrival of the Governor-General; who is to bless the town with his royal presence. All eyes are on the commander, Reeve Horace MacIntosh, who must revive sl;umping morale, inspire his young combatants and embody the village virtues of humility and pride. All goes well until this masterful, middle-aged politician sets his sights on the sensuous Gloria Sawbush; until the snows come late and vengeful; until ambition strikes, hot and consuming. The result is a week of bizarre events in which the follies and dreams of the good citizens of the Point are exposed and exorcised. Don Gutteridge grew up in the village of Point Edward, Ontario. He attended school there and in a one-room country school in Sarnia Township. He attended high school in Sarnia and Chatham and graduated from the University of Western Ontario in 1960, where he is currently professor emeritus in the Faculty of Education.
