Description
The Master of Jalna
Author: Mazo De La Roche
Hardcover. Good condition. First edition 1933 (Empire edition).
The Master of Jalna by Mazo de la Roche is a novel in the Jalna series that centres on the aging patriarch Adeline Whiteoak (often called Gran) and the powerful influence she exerts over the sprawling Whiteoak family at their Ontario estate. The story focuses on shifting family dynamics as younger generations challenge tradition, particularly through conflicts over inheritance, authority, and personal independence. At the heart of the novel is the tension between old and new values, as the “master” of Jalna represents continuity and control while others seek change and self-determination. Through domestic drama, rivalries, and loyalties, de la Roche paints a vivid portrait of a complex family bound together by pride, history, and the enduring pull of the Jalna estate.
