Stead considered to be his crowning achievement. Dry Water tells the story of Donald Strand from the time of his arrival as a ten-year-old orphan at his relatives' Manitoba farm to his apogee as a successful farmer, the crises he faces during a troubled marriage, and the great stock market crash of 1929. Deftly blending fiction with a vivid portrayal of Manitoba during a forty-year period of intense social, cultural, and technological change, Stead created a work of considerable literary and historical significance."
