The Bride of New France by Suzanne Desrochers

3.0

Carefully researched (apparently, since I am no expert on France or Canada in the period). Laurie, the main character, has a tremendous will to survive and a strength she doesn't fully recognize. Lots more time is spent in Old France than the title would suggest, telling us a lot about both Laure and the state of poor women in seventeenth century France. Her experience of misery coupled with freedom in the New World is fascinating...would it have felt like that I wonder?
