''You Never Know Your Luck'' is a novel by Gilbert Parker that was first published in 1899. The story is set in the late 19th century and follows the life of a young man named Gaston, who is born into a wealthy family but is forced to leave home after a scandal involving his father. Gaston travels to Canada, where he makes a new life for himself as a successful businessman and politician. Along the way, he falls in love with a woman named Sheila, but their relationship is complicated by their different social statuses and Gaston’s past. The novel explores themes of love, class, and ambition, as well as the challenges and opportunities that come with starting over in a new place. Parker’s writing is known for its vivid descriptions of the Canadian landscape and its nuanced portrayal of complex characters. ''You Never Know Your Luck'' is a classic work of Canadian literature and a timeless tale of perseverance and redemption.The court-room of Askatoon was crowded to suffocation, for the M’Mahons were detested, and the murdered man had a good reputation in the district. Besides, a widow and three children mourned their loss, and the widow was in court. Also Crozier’s evidence was expected to be sensational, and to prove the swivel on which the fate of the accused man would hang.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
