Description
Translated from the French-language to English, this work of fiction, based on fact, tells the story of Victor Lemetayer who, at 18 years of age, has had enough of life on the family farm in Brittany, France.
About the author
Françoise Enguehard is a native of Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon, a French archipelago located near the island of Newfoundland. The accomplished author, who has lived in St. John's for nearly 50 years, is a journalist (formerly with Radio-Canada, now a columnist for the daily newspaper L'Acadie nouvelle). Her first book, Les litanies de l'Île-aux-Chiens, tells the story of her Breton ancestors who came to seek their fortune "in the Americas". L'archipel du docteur Thomas and a second novel for young people, Le pilote du Roy, evoke specific characters in the history of Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon.
