520			_a"The Lure of the North" by Harold Bindloss is a novel penned during the early 20th century. It narrates the story of Jim Thirlwell, a young engineer torn between the lure of civilized comforts and the challenges of life in Canada's wilderness as he grapples with personal ambitions, family pressures, and romantic entanglements amidst the backdrop of the North's rugged beauty and harsh realities. The opening of the novel finds Thirlwell dining at a hotel in Quebec, reflecting on the stark contrast between his past life in the wilds of North Ontario and present societal expectations. As he interacts with his relatives and a young woman named Evelyn, it becomes clear that he is at a crossroads, facing a tempting job offer that could bring him back to England. However, he feels a pull towards his duties in the North, demonstrating a strong moral compass inherited from his father. This conflict sets the stage for his developing character and the relationships he forms while remaining loyal to his commitments in the wilderness. Ultimately, the opening chapters establish a rich tapestry of themes including ambition, sacrifice, and the search for identity, enticing readers to delve deeper into Thirlwell's journey.
