The Going of the White Swan Produced by Janet Keller, Janet Blenkinship and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net "The Going of the White Swan" by Gilbert Parker is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book explores themes of familial love, loss, and the intersection of nature and the human spirit, set against the backdrop of the harsh yet beautiful wilderness of Canada. It delves into the life of a father and son living in solitude, grappling with love, faith, and the struggles of survival in the wilderness. The story centers around John Bagot, a woodsman, and his young son, Dominique, who is recovering from a life-threatening injury. The narrative reveals the family's tumultuous past, particularly the disappearance of Dominique's mother, Lucette. As the boy’s health declines, he displays visions and insights that suggest a connection to the spiritual realm, where the legendary figure of the White Swan symbolizes the passing of souls. The arrival of a priest, Father Corraine, highlights the father's internal conflicts regarding faith and his relationship with his wife, all while providing a catalyst for reconciliation and hope. Through vivid imagery and deep emotional resonance, the novel ultimately suggests a journey toward redemption and understanding amid personal and existential crises.
