Her fiction delves into the complex relationship between English and French Canadians making this a cornerstone of Canadian literature. Once seen as a sentimental tale this Canadian classic is now celebrated for its feminist message and remains a vital piece of Canada's literary heritage.This meticulously annotated scholarly edition includes an insightful introduction by Dr. Sylvia Hunt, a chronology and a supplementary short story
