In 1542, sixteen-year-old Marguerite, eager to escape her joyless, restrictive French home, leaps at the chance to sail to the New World. When she is discovered with her stowaway lover, they are put ashore in disgrace upon an inhospitable Canadian island. Heightened prose emphasizes Marguerite's passionate, romantic nature in a compelling and dramatic survival story.
