Athanase Tallard is born of an aristocratic French-Canadian tradition, while his beautiful wife Kathleen is of Irish heritage. Their son Paul, meanwhile, must find his identity as he represents both French and English -- he speaks both, but feels alienated from both cultures and he is struggling to help define his Canadian identity. See how his half-brother, Marius, deals with his life and outlook. While his friendship to Captain Yardley helps him try and understand there is more out there in life, but to be true to oneself. The beginnings of Quebec in Canadian history. Classic Canadian literature.
