Canadian historical fiction

Without Incident

Some violence does not arrive shouting. Some is signed, filed, and reported without incident.

A Clerk’s Private Record of the Riverbend

Without Incident follows Esmond W. Calder from the 1870s into the 1920s as he learns how administrative violence can enter through desks, stamps, maps, ledgers, rations, passes, school registers, waiting rooms, and remarks columns. It is serious Canadian historical fiction about bureaucracy, conscience, and the difference between a clean record and a truthful one.
