Title

The Shadows of the Trees : The Story of French-Canadians in New England

Description

Book-length reflection on a personal journey through New England to learn about French-Canadian immigration and Franco American identity there. Permeated with personal anecdotes, comments on language, race, and genealogy, and perhaps the first tempered criticisms of La Survivance. Ducharme's attempts to cover all aspects of Franco-American culture meddle in both the subtle and the explicit. Written by the author of "The Delusson Family: A Novel." From the text: "It is high time that someone wrote of [the French-Canadians in New England], to show the why and wherefore of their coming. This I hope to do in this book."
