Set in seventeenth-century Canada, an evocation of North American origins highlights the men and women who struggled to adapt to the new world even as they clung to the one they left behind. Reprint. less
This is Cather's second (besides "Death Comes for the Archbishop") historical "Catholic" novel, set in late-17th and early-18th-century Quebec City. It's a beautiful portrayal of the importance of faith, family, and friendship. Highly recommended.
