| Description: | Set during the Winnipeg General Strike, Craig Forrester is newly returned home following World War I, and he has returned to a city and a country mired in social upheaval. Will he choose the complacency of upward mobility or his personal, more socially conscious ethical code? The Magpie is a social commentary turned novel about post-war disillusionment. The Magpie offers an articulate and perceptive examination of the greed, hypocrisy, and intolerance of the “decent” classes, the agrarian myth, the role of women in post-war society, the role of art in social critique, and the evolution of moral codes in settler-Canadian society.—Canadian Bookman, 1924.
