About The Stone Carvers by Jane Urquhart
Jane Urquhart’s novel connects a Canadian settlement in 1867 with a later effort to commemorate Canadian dead in France. Pater Archangel Gstir arrives in the backwoods, where a parish takes shape and woodcarver Joseph Becker meets the woman who will become his wife.
Decades later, their grandchild Klara faces the work of carving for a memorial planned by an architect. The family’s craft links the novel’s two periods and its focus on creation and remembrance.
Readers interested in Canadian historical fiction, family connections, or the place of carving and other crafts in storytelling may find this novel of particular interest.
