(Avec le souvenir du regard scintillant de Gabrielle Roy, ...)
Avec le souvenir du regard scintillant de Gabrielle Roy, Annette Saint-Pierre nous invite a parcourir le destin de l'une des figures les plus marquantes de la litterature canadienne. Au pays de Gabrielle Roy se presente moins dans les details de la vie et de l'oeuvre de Gabrielle, dont plus d'un biographe ont deja fait etat, mais dans la richesse de la vie familiale et de la maison natale dans laquelle l'auteur de Bonheur d'occasion a evolue. De la Montagne Pembina a Saint-Boniface, jusqu'a l'exode et le devenir de chacun de ses freres et soeurs, ce livre clef d'une grande erudition devoile une Gabrielle Roy inconnue - lettres inedites a l'appui - au coeur de son intimite. Leaf through the destiny of this seminal figure in Canadian literature. From Pembina Mountain to Saint Boniface by way of the exodus and growth of each of her brothers and sisters, this key reference reveals a little known side of Gabrielle Roy. Honourable Mention, Margaret-McWilliams Award, 2005.
