Query: Wonderful period piece, book of ideas

I'm getting ready for a trip this summer to Nova Scotia and love to read books about places I'm visiting. This is a wonderful romance, but deeply embedded in the social history of Halifax during World War I. We see the toll the war takes, how patriotism is used and misued, and the class tensions between Catholics and Church of Englanders. Canadians are striving for their own kind of recognition from England, by sending huge numbers of men to the front, to carry out the most dangerous missions in a war that over time became meaningless. An engaging read.
