First published in 1958, Centenary at Jalna brings us to 1953
when the Whiteoaks gather to mark the 100th anniversary of their
estate. It has now been a century since Captain Philip and Adeline
Whiteoak arrived in Canada and built their legacy. While this
should be a time of festivity for the clan, tension and discontent
surround the forthcoming marriage of a new generations Adeline and
Philip, grandchildren of the originals. To make matters worse,
young Dennis risks tragedy and Wakefield finds himself in a doomed
relationship. As the celebrations loom closer, the question
remains: Will the Whiteoaks be able to overcome their difficulties
one last time? This is book 16 of 16 in The Whiteoak
Chronicles.
First published in 1949, in Mary Wakefield, the third book in
the Jalna series, a young English woman is hired by Ernest Whiteoak
to be a governess to Philip's motherless children. When Philip
falls in love with her, his mother does all she can to prevent the
marriage. This is book 3 of 16 in The Whiteoak Chronicles. It is
followed by Young Renny.
First published in 1933, The Master of Jalna is Renny Whiteoak,
who owns the old house and property. After the death of Grandmother
Adeline, Renny attempts to carry on the family tradition. He and
his wife Alayne have a daughter named Adeline, who has inherited
her namesake's red hair, strong will, and fierce temper. While
Alayne is preoccupied trying to tame this wild, red-headed child,
Renny has a love affair with Claire, the widow of his best friend.
The whole Whiteoak family is back at Jalna, and Renny looks after
everyone, including Claire and her daughter. He faces a financial
crisis and struggles to keep the estate intact. This is book 10 of
16 in The Whiteoak Chronicles. It is followed by Whiteoak
Harvest.

Winner of the 1927 Atlantic-Little, Brown Award First published
in 1927, this international bestseller is now back in print. Jalna
is the first book in the popular series about a Canadian family
named Whiteoak, who live in southern Ontario in a red-brick house
called Jalna. In Jalna, the unforgettable family makes its first
appearance. Two grandsons cause tumult when they bring their brides
to live at Jalna, and Grandmother Adeline celebrates her 100th
birthday. This is book 7 of 16 in The Whiteoak Chronicles. It is
followed by Whiteoaks of Jalna.
First published in 1936, Whiteoak Harvest chronicles the 1930s
saga of Renny Whiteoak and his wife, Alayne. Finch Whiteoak and
wife, Sarah, return from their honeymoon to upset the Jalna
household with Eden Whiteoak's love child. Meanwhile Wakefield
Whiteoak is engaged to Pauline Lebraux but is tormented by
religious doubts. This is book 11 of 16 in The Whiteoak Chronicles.
It is followed by Wakefield's Course.
First published in 1957, Mazo de la Roche's last autobiography is a
vivid look at her life in Ontario, and a parting shot at her
critics. Mazo de la Roche was once Canada's best-known writer,
loved by millions of readers around the world. Her Jalna series is
filled with unforgettable characters who come to life for her
readers, but she herself was secretive about her own life and tried
to escape the public attention fame brought. In this memoir, de la
Roche describes her childhood and her relationship with her cousin
and life-long companion, Caroline Clement. She confesses her
personal connection with her troubled character Finch Whiteoak and
details her romantic struggles. Ringing the Changes is the closest
view we have of Mazo de la Roche's innermost thoughts and the
private life she usually kept hidden.
