Description

In the heart of a sun‑drenched Canadian summer, a spirited young girl named Junia darts through pine‑laden woods, calling out to the lanky, restless Carnavon “Carnac.” Their carefree chase along a tumbling stream captures the raw, untamed beauty of the frontier and hints at the deep currents of family legacy that surround them—Carnac’s father a towering lumber magnate, Junia’s father a modest lawyer. The narrative paints their world in vivid detail, from the whispering hemlocks to the bustling river‑drivers, while introducing Denzil, a thoughtful servant whose quiet observations add a subtle layer of intrigue.

As the children’s playful rivalry unfolds, the story gently explores themes of youthful longing, social divides, and the clash of personalities that shape their small community. Listeners will be drawn into the lush setting and the tender, sometimes awkward, interactions that foreshadow the choices each character must soon confront.
