About the Book Samuel de Champlain, the founder of Quebec – considered a "saint" by many – at the age of 42 married 12 year old Hélène Boullè. Through Hélène´s eyes we learn of their tense and turbulant marriage with its many upheavals. Considerably older, Champlain, explorer, navigator, cartographer, and historical writer, must adjust to the stormy temperament of his refined Parisian wife. Hélène must adapt to his solitary ways and the crude unforgiving wilderness with its severe winters, lack of food, Iroquois uprisings, and personal violation. Lust, love, betrayal of trusted friends, deception, death, suicide, anger and frustration also weave their threads through the thin blanket of their dysfunctional marriage. Can the marriage of these two truly remarkable people survive?
