"In The Watch that Ends the Night, Hugh MacLennan takes the reader back into the world of Montreal in the thirties and into the lives of his characters. George and Catherine Stewart share not only the burden of Catherine's heart disease, which could cause her death at any time, but the memory of Jerome Martell, Catherine's first husband and George's closest friend.
