It doesn't really have a traditional &quot;plot,&quot; as in a central conflict with setbacks, climax, denoument, etc.  It's just a year in the life of a 12-year-old girl, her widower father, and their friends, making a life for themselves in Quebec in 1697.<br/><br/>...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/6467628">more...</a>]]></body>

I really felt I was not just in the physical location, but also in the cultural one. I am a big fan of Cather's narrative style, with its focus on aesthetics. The novel lacks the overt drama m...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/59741672">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[A rather sweet story of a little Catholic girl in the 17th-century French settlement that would become Quebec City. There aren't a lot of stories set in colonial Canada, so that's kind of fun. It's pretty heavy on the moralizing (i.e. a Catholic education website says &quot;This is a wonderful story...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/25758074">more...</a>]]></body>

Cather's writing is always a treat, but the story line in this one is not as compelling as some of her other works.  Still, it gave me a deeper appreciation for Quebec - its geography and its history, which are...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/32115062">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Another one I read for a French-Canuck lit class.  Nothing really tremendous happens.  It's just a girl growning up in Quebec in the late 1600s.  It's an okay read, but I didn't think it was anything really remarkable.  I wondered why my teacher didn't choose something a bit more celebrated.  ]]></body>
