This classic novel tells the story of Maria Chapdelaine, a young woman living in rural Quebec at the turn of the 20th century. When her family's farm is threatened by harsh weather and economic pressures, Maria must choose between her love for a local woodsman and the security of staying close to home. The book is a poignant exploration of the tensions between tradition and modernity, and the challenges facing rural communities in an increasingly industrialized world.
