This Colorful and romantic novel depicts life in montreal and Eastern Canada in the early 1700s, not only a dramatic and turbulant love story, but a fine re-creation of what life was like in Canada, while it was still New France! - Goodreads
A substantial picture of seigneury life, with some touches of melodrama, this reflects the struggles of the English and the French of Queen Annes War as it touches the family relationships of the Courville-Boissarts met earlier in The Heritage of the River (1945). Their son returns to French Canada bringing with him a friend, Antoine de Brieuvaux, who falls in love with their daughter Elise-and with their way of life. The father, fearing that Antoine might be his own son, breaks off the romance. Antoine returns to France to ascertain his true fathers identity and comes again with the happy news that the barrier does not exist, only to find change and a new obstacle in his path....Marred by some rather childish writing, this nevertheless has a comfortable feeling of French pioneer life, of the farming, the fur trade, the regional customs. - Kirkus
