Set against the tumultuous backdrop of Niagara Falls at a time when daredevils shot the river rapids in barrels and great industrial fortunes were made and lost with the dawn of hydroelectric power, The Day the Falls Stood Still is an intoxicating debut novel. Part Canadian history, part romance and social comment, this novel offers the reader an insightful look into women's lives during and after the First World War as they struggled to find their place in a rapidly changing world.
