Canada: Bride of New France by Suzanne Desrochers
Thoughts: Bride of New France is a rather simplistic novel. Not that there is anything bad about that, but it definitely reads more like a YA historical novel than one that would necessarily appeal to adults. The characters are fairly flat and there’s no real sense of conflict. The narrative is straightforward and has a “and then this happened and then this happened and then this happened” feel. I found myself skimming through the pages at the end because of how easy and unchallenging the narrative was.
Bride of New France is not a bad novel. It’s an amusing way to spend an afternoon or two, but it’s not much more than that. I doubt that I’ll remember that much about it in a year or so.
Rating: 3.5/5
