"The Inverted Pyramid" by Bertrand W. Sinclair is a novel published in 1924. Set in British Columbia's logging industry from 1909 to 1920, it follows the Norquay brothers—Rod, Phil, and Grove—as they pursue fortune in the booming timber sector and establish the Norquay Trust. Through ambition and mismanagement, their enterprise crumbles, testing family bonds and personal relationships. Rod Norquay's romance with Mary Thorn adds emotional depth to this tale of rise and fall in early twentieth-century Canada. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
