The First World War cost Canada over 60,000 dead and changed the country. Hugh MacLennan's first novel Barometer Rising (1942) dealt with the Halifax explosion of 1917. His later book Two Solitudes described the conscription crisis in Quebec.
The great novels of the decade were by Charles Gordon/Ralph Connor and sold in the millions.
In French, the most important book of the decade was Louis Hemon's Maria Chapdelaine.
