	Gwethalyn Graham - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Graham won the Governor General's Award twice, for her first novel Swiss Sonata in 1938, and for Earth and High Heaven in 1944.
		Graham was also an outspoken activist against anti-Semitism and anti-French Canadian discrimination; Earth and High Heaven depicted an interfaith romance between a Protestant woman from Montreal and a Jewish man from Northern Ontario.
		She was born Gwethalyn Graham Erichsen-Brown, to wealthy Toronto parents.

		Gwethalyn Graham’s 1944 novel Earth and High Heaven is said to bear the distinction of being the first book published in Canada by a non-Jewish author that deals centrally with Jewish themes and characters.
		Graham spent years successfully convincing the tax department to allow authors to prorate such windfalls over a three-year period to allow them to escape the highest tax brackets.
		Graham’s book even preceded the Canadian Jewish Congress’s groundbreaking campaign for equal civil rights for all Canadians that began in the late ’40s, after the horrors of the Holocaust had fully filtered into public awareness.

		Graham Greene's 1951 novel centers on the attempt of Maurice Bendix, a London novelist, to learn why his lover, Sarah, had abandoned him without a word of explanation several years before.
		Born on a North Carolina dairy farm in 1918, Graham rose to prominence through endless personal appearances, called Billy Graham Crusades, as well as through television and radio, becoming a major American figure of the second half of the 20th century.
		Graham also delves into the private side of his life, writing about his family and friends, and how his tireless dedication to his work has affected his relationships with them.

	Cormorant Books: Earth and High Heaven
		With rare perceptiveness, Gwethalyn Graham takes the reader into the lives of Erica Drake and Marc Reiser, whose two worlds are separated by families and conventions.
		Gwethalyn Graham was born January 18, 1913 in Toronto.
		But Cormorant Books' reprint of the 1944 novel Earth and High Heaven should bring back to prominence the extraordinary Gwethalyn Graham, who published two novels in her short life (1913 to 1965) and won the Governor General's award for both.

	The Cool Canadian Writers/Canadian Copywriter
		Published in 1944 when Gwethalyn was only thirty one by Jonathan Cape in England and the J.P. Lippincott Co. of Philadelphia, the novel was the first Canadian book to reach No.1 on the New York Time's bestseller list, ahead of John Steinbeck's Cannery Row.
		Over the years it was translated into 18 languages and Braille, and won Graham her second Governor-General's award.
		Gwethalyn's sister wrote the famous Canadian book "The Trial Of Stephen Truscott" which was the first dissenting note against the infamous judicial wrongs imposed on a young fourteen year old boy.

		While it is easy to compare this book to William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, it is interesting to note that Graham herself fell in love with a Jewish lawyer whom her dad refused to meet.
		This may have stirred her imagination for this novel, but certainly the theme had been brewing since she took a tour of Europe in the mid-1930s, where she noted the rise of fascism and anti-Semitism in Germany.
		In writing Earth and High Heaven, Graham has also inadvertently written a book that sheds light on our past and may serve to enlighten Canadians to the ethnic and religious prejudices that are rooted in our history.

		So when Marc, by then a lawyer and an enlisted soldier in the Army, and Erica, a newspaper editor, met and fell in love in June of 1942, their romance was met with resistance from all sides.
		In quietly honest prose, Gwethalyn Graham precisely captures the Drake's roles in Westmount's social circles, the Reisers's moderate religiousness in a community with only a few other Jewish families, and the underlying racism that dictates the boundaries of their respective worlds.
		But at its core, Earth and High Heaven is a compassionate love story of two people who saw past the differences, and into each other's hearts.

		Cameron's personal transformation is paralleled by a professional switch from canonizing the lives of male writers to immortalizing female subjects.
		Accordingly, her own contribution to Great Dames is an account of Gwethalyn Graham, the winner of two Governor-General's awards, whose reputation as a novelist is obliterated by the larger figure of Hugh MacLennan, the subject of Cameron's first biography.

	Ida Nasatir, Novels on Self Hatred, sept. 8, 1950
		Part and parcel of the theme of trying to "pass," which is a confusion of hatred of one's own people and background, are the novels dealing with inter-marriage and self-hatred.
		Earth and High Heaven by Gwethalyn Graham, was heralded as a book with a daring theme.
		The book itself is unimportant in the field of fiction: the Jews in it are only cardboard figures and are Jewish only because the author says they are.

		Adeline and Captain Philip build their new home in Ontario, begin raising their now famous family, and otherwise provide one more variation of the story pattern familiar to thousands.
		When wellborn Erica Drake said she was going to marry her Jewish boyfriend, Father Drake howled his head off, Mother Drake wept torrents, the best people were appalled.
		First published as a serial in Collier's, 30-year-old Author Graham's study of anti-Semitism in Canada would probably have stirred up more interest if it read more like a novel, less like a studied, romantic essay.

		Pastry chick (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews
		Graham's novel was an amazing look at the world pre-WWII, written with such insight and foreshadowing as I have only seen in novels written post-war, when one has all the time in the world to have hindsight.
		Written in 1938 about 3 days during 1935, it turns a Swiss "finishing school" into a microcosm of pre-war Europe and abroad.

		In a country that barely remembers its prime ministers, it's hardly surprising that one of CanLit's brightest early stars is almost forgotten.
		(The plot was drawn directly from Graham's own unhappy life: after two failed marriages, her love affair with a Jewish man was derailed when Graham's father refused to meet him.) The novel was an international success, translated into 18 languages and topping American bestseller lists.
