Sick Heart River
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sick Heart River (1941) is a novel by Scottish author John Buchan set in Canada. It was published posthumously.
[edit] Plot
The plot is particularly poignant, since it discusses a terminally ill man (Leithen) going off to die in a hidden valley in the Canadian wilderness - Buchan was himself dying as the novel was being written. It is one of Buchan's most spiritual novels, talking about death and redemption.
