<p>In the stifling heat of summer in a northern Canadian mining town, Marie, a young teacher, is fascinated by her new friend Corrine, a waitress who is determined to squeeze every drop of experience and sensation from life.</p>
<p>As summer ends, Marie marries an immigrant from Eastern Europe. She has chosen Ervant because she senses -- or hopes -- that despair will not defeat him as it has the men who spent their lives working for the mine.</p>
<p>This is the first volume in the <em>False Pretenses</em> trilogy, which is continued in <em>Affairs of Art</em> and <em>An Appropriate Place</em>.</p>
