In this tragi-comic novel of 1967, French and English are thrown together during World War II as a French Canadian soldier killed at war is returned to his Quebec village by seven English Canadian soldiers. Tensions between French and English which still haunt Canada are conveyed in this story.
This book rocked. I read it for a Canadian Literature class, and was so impressed that I will never get rid of it. It is witty and satirical, expressing deep concerns between French and English Canadians in a light hearted, and comical manner. French or English, you will appreciate this honest and thought provoking novel.
