La Cordonnière (Tome II) Les Caprices d'un cœur

This novel tells the extraordinary story of Victoire Du Sault, the first woman shoemaker in Quebec, whose creative imagination was at the origin of the fortune of the famous Dufresne family. The shores of Lake Saint-Pierre, particularly the villages of Yamachiche and Point-du-Lac, as well as the city of Trois-Rivières, are the setting for this great historical and family fresco that takes place at the end of the 19th century. Surrounded by a host of endearing characters, this audacious woman constantly finds herself at a crossroads between her past, a part of which must remain secret, her present marked by her romantic impulses, her longing for motherhood and her passion for creating shoe designs, and a destiny she tries to control through many heartbreaking trials. An unforgettable novel, La Cordonnière is an imposing and fascinating work of fiction by a writer with an exceptional talent for storytelling.
