Description:
<p>A classic of Canadian literature by the great Quebecoise writer, <em>Kamouraska</em> 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'Aulnieres: her marriage to Antoine Tassy, squire of Kamouraska; his violent murder; and her passion for George Nelson, an American doctor. </p> <p>Passionate and evocative, <em>Kamouraska</em> is the timeless story of one woman's destructive commitment to an ideal love. Translated into seven languages, <em>Kamouraska</em> won the Paris book prize and was made into a landmark feature film by Claude Jutra. This edition features a brilliant new introduction by Noah Richler.</p>
