"The Girl from Keller's" by Harold Bindloss is a novel likely written during the early 20th century. The story unfolds against the backdrop of the Canadian prairie, focusing on themes of ambition, personal struggle, and the complexities of love and relationships. The protagonist, Festing, is a railroad builder who feels at a crossroads in life, grappling with his ambitions and the choices he must make. The opening of the book introduces Festing as he reflects on his career and future while traversing the Saskatchewan prairie at dusk. As he reaches the top of a ravine, he contemplates his career trajectory and the changes brought about by the arrival of the railroad that could help transform the landscape into flourishing farmland. Festing is caught between staying in the railroad business and the challenging life of a prairie farmer. As he explores his ambitions, he also has interactions with Charnock, a friend who is struggling with his own failures in farming and romantic entanglements, particularly with a woman named Sadie Keller, whom Festing finds intriguing yet potentially dangerous. Through these early reflections, the novel sets the stage for themes of dreams, disillusionment, and the pull of romantic relationships set against the harsh realities of prairie life.
