The Loxleys and Confederation

Plot

Cover by Claude St Aubin. The follow up to Canadian bestseller The Loxleys and the War of 1812 catches up with the family in 1864 as threats from America - and the potential that a triumphant Union will turn its attentions north - once again place the Canadas in grave danger. The story is told as a travelogue as George Loxley reports on the attempts to bring the provinces together, joined by his daughter, and granddaughter Lilian. It is Lilian's diary entries and her developing love story that threads the history together.
