It is the first of a 16-novel family saga about the Whiteoak family. First published in 1927, Jalna won the Atlantic Monthly's $10,000 Book Award. De la Roche went on to write about the Whiteoak family for the next 30 years, establishing a place for herself in popular Canadian literature. The Jalna series has been translated into many languages and was adapted for radio and television. John Cromwell directed a 1935 film adaptation as Jalna. In 1972, it was filmed for television as The Whiteoaks of Jalna.
