I read this principally because my grandmother believed she was directly related to the author's. A large fraction of Quebecois share family lineage, but I was unable to find any convincing one with Ann Hebert, unfortunately. Hebert's writing is immersive and enjoyable, though.

Translated into seven languages, Kamouraska won the Paris book prize and was made into a landmark feature film by Claude Jutra. A classic of Canadian literature by the great Québecoise writer, Kamouraska is based on a real nineteenth-century love-triangle in rural Quebec. It paints a poetic and terrifying tableau of the life of Elisabeth d'Aulnières: her marriage to Antoine Tassy, squire of Kamouraska; his violent murder; and her passion for George Nelson, an American doctor. Passionate and evocative, Kamouraska is the timeless story of one woman's destructive commitment to an ideal love. No library descriptions found. |
