The winter again. After the charleston, brought by Marie of Montreal, has swept like a fury through Notre-Dame-des-Lacs, men have finally gone back to the forest, to work throughout the cold season. Calm can finally return to the village. But not for very long …
For Mary, after sharing her bed with Ernest and Mathurin, discovers that she is pregnant without knowing who the father is – and she had always thought that she was sterile!
Meanwhile, Réjean, the young parish priest, takes refuge in the construction of his boat, disturbed by his intimate and existential questions that have led to a crisis of faith and he feels no longer able to answer his the religious calling.
This leads to fear and panic amongst the bigots of the village and there is even talk of going to fetch the bishop! After all, where is this all going to lead? The mayor angry about the priest, the wild dances, lovers who live in sin and children without a father … is this not a sign of a curse unleashed on Notre-Dame-des-Lacs?
Some very nice art and it’s very atmospheric but, as to the story, not a lot I can add when I’m coming in at volume 8! But the art sells the book for me!
