Description
Victime de la grande famine, Bridget Bushell est chassée de l'Irlande en 1847. À dix-neuf ans, sans avoir le temps de faire le deuil de sa mère, elle traverse l'Atlantique dans le fond d'une cale d'un bateau-cercueil. Avant d'arriver à Saint-Henri-des-Tanneries, elle rencontre l'amour, mais la maladie et la mort rôdent. Sur le même voilier, un autre Irlandais, Denis Lynch, fuit son pays, avec pour tout bagage, son enfance blessée. À force de présence attentionnée, réussira-t-il à se faire aimer de sa compatriote? En traversant la vie laborieuse de Bridget Bushell, c'est tout un pan de l'émigration irlandaise au Québec, au dix-neuvième siècle, que l'auteur évoque avec ferveur et authenticité.
