Cariboo: A novel.

Summary

Abstract	Abstract This thesis consists of the first fourteen chapters of a novel about the Cariboo. The time line for the novel is during inter-war years and following World War Two. Martha Scott arrives in Vancouver in 1938 determined to find a better life for herself here than the one she had in Britain. There she felt stifled as a woman and disliked the perception of women as being fit only for a life of domesticity. Idealistic and opinionated with an independent spirit, she embraces her new life in Vancouver. After meeting a young Canadian lawyer on the boat coming over, romance flourishes and they marry. Martha is now dependent on her husband. She gives up her job and assumes a domestic role. They move to Wells in the Cariboo, where Martha more used to an urban lifestyle, must now accommodate herself to life in a remote rural gold town. --P. ii.
